This is a traffic stopper on Moggill Road (Brisbane, Australia)
The photo was taken from the car (stop on red signal).
See where this picture was taken.
A tall Hoop Pine ( Araucaria cunninghamii ) is covered with Bougainvillea climber up to the very top. Just spectacular.
It looks like the Hoop pine does not mind such unusual attire.
Also I hope that the land development, that is happening on this corner, will not destroy the tree.

Spruce - is a pun (????????), play of words here.
I found out that this name for conifer (spruce = ???) is also used as a synonym of "dress up" (????????) in English :)

The bad news a year later: they did not destroy the tree, but they cut the trunk of Bougainvillea, so it has died. Hoop pine is still standing there - covered with dead twigs of formerly spectacular flowering climber.
Stupid people.
