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.
