Bougainvillea

Hanging brightly like lightning from heaven, a riveting explosion of colours, from angelic white to royal purple to classic pink, you'll find your choice here. Slender white flowers covered with a three piece waxen skirt of bracts makes your fingers itch to touch them, but all beautiful things come with a cost, minute thorns surround the flowers, like mini towers, protecting them. Dazzling evergreen beauty, bougainvillea is a must for your garden. 04/07/19

I find the glory of this plant is in its colors and that it takes little water, thriving in the hot sun. It has always been one of my favorites. Your tribute to its beauty is so well-written and lovely Jo. xxoo

Nice tribute. Some people are like that - surrounding themselves with thorns...
