Bougainvillea

a flush of fuchsia

endows the head stone

A striking image, Harry.. I've always thought of the bougainvillea beautiful , but those thorns are sharp. I got a finger infected one day, years back while I was trimming and putting the cuttings in the trash. Did go to the doctor for the infection.
