If You could have been here When the redbud blooms And the maples began to leaf We could have shared The aesthetics Of azaleas in spring, whether wild or tame At the time when only buds pop upon the ginkgo trees Oh! How delightful would have been summers Sharing Fuchsia bougainvillea's beautiful color But You chose to take your life And I never got to know you Is there fuchsia bougainvillea in heaven?

This is so beautiful, Sara. I own one and it's planted in the back of the house I against the master bedroom and it is beautiful , but also very prickly.. I have to trim it back because it scrapes the window and it just gets out of control.. Good luck in the contest.

Eve, I had one in a hanging basket one year but winters here are not warm enough every year for them to survive. I have to store them inside and there isn't enough room and enough light for plants inside the house. I did enjoy its beauty that year. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

WoW! So much emotion. So much longing in so few words. Speaking of your love for the beautiful flowers and how you wish you could have shared them with your loved one. But this person took his/her own life and brought so much pain and regret plus confusion. WHY! Great job here. Excellent. God Bless and I hope this isn't a true story. God Bless, JB
