Showy, Floriferous and Hardy

Boganvillias~


My favorite one of  plant!
Easy to keep, just don't over water is what I've always been told.
They love hot weather too.

Well, I want some planted here at our new home and finding a sunny spot...not easy!
Not to worry, I'll find a spot for these showy, floriferous and hardy little plants.

These are photographs of some of mine from the past.
Come along for a short visit to a past post~

I miss my bougainvillea plants! They had a good place to shine, in full sunshine!
Oh my, they were showy, floriferous and hardy!
 I'm missing their blooms and our old home!

I took these photographs while waiting for a storm!














Facts

  • It’s not the flowers that make this plant so colourful, it’s actually the magenta bracts. The flowers are just tiny and white. Have a closer look!
  • The bracts can be seen in all shades of pink and purple, and also red, yellow, white, salmon and orange.
  •  bract a leaf, a petal.

    Have a glorious day!

    5. i grew them one summer here and loved them. sadly, they don't make it over winter. i tried bringing in a hibiscus thru the cold months and brought in bugs with it so i no longer attempt to bring in outdoor plants for the winter. :)
