I have a lot to learn, but I have learned so much. I became obsessed with Bougainvilleas many years ago. Their beauty and mystery drew me in. I've never had much luck with growing these plants. They were coy to bloom, stubborn and thorny. After losing many Bougies, I eventually realized it would take more than just luck to grow these magnificent plants. I began this Bougainvillea blog and off I went into the garden to try and figure out the secret to get these beauties to form bountiful bracts. I can now say that I am learning! I am so excited, I'm beginning to feel the rythm of these plants. However, I do have much more to learn. I look forward to each and every spring that I can learn more about Bougainvilleas and their secrets.
We got a visit from peacocks in our neighborhood, I felt so blessed. This visit was so special, I couldn't believe I got a picture of peacocks with my bougainvillea.
I found the cutest little painting on ebay. It reminds me of a bougainvillea vine growing over a door. I love the look of a bougainvillea over a door, I'm trying to get some to grow over my door to create a bougainvillea arch upon walking in.
I enjoy crafting sometimes so I decided to make a Bougainvillea wreath this year. I made this wreath with a wire frame and some artificial bougainvilleas. I threw in some extra flowers and butterflies. I think it turned out nice, I'm pleased with it. It brightens my day every time I see it.
