Mmmmmmm....
Lovely.
I love boggies. Used to have some years ago, hanging in a sunny window. Never had any success with cuttings though.
Saw a Jamaican gold beauty yesterday at a garden nursery. Much too big a tree for my little apartment.
The foto of Mrs Butt, seems very familiar, have you ever posted one like it before?
Love them all. Thank you. inga |

Glad you like them Inga the flowers are so bright colourful.
I only have nineteen now as I lost two to the frost last winter. Yes I posted two pics of Mrs Butt before.. This one taken in Oct 2004. 
And this taken in September 2005. This would be this one you are taking about.
I cannot remember when I posted this last as I have not posted much the past two years..
I spend all my spare time on another gardening Forum and a Art site these days..
Seeing there is not much traffic on here these days. Thank You For Your Comments..

I knew I had seen that last view before. Lovely boggies.
Well it's after midnight. I better try to get some sleep. |

The Bougainvlllae is a lovely plant and your pictures are lovely.Named after the french navigator and soldier de bouganville who circumnavigavated the world with his mistress disguised as a botanist.The island of
Bouganville where many Australian soldiers died,is also named after him.My reason for this preamble is that I wonder if Bouganville- who fought in Canada against the English- took the plant to Canada,where Inga has seen it.

| Yes its a great plant Chas I don't water it *Only the two in pots* I don't fed it, the only thing I do these days is prune it.. Seeing Bougainvillea is a Native to South America Brazil actually, maybe someone took some cuttings from there, or bought a plant from there.. Like Plumeria, Frangipani to us that comes from South America also, Mexico and Venezuela its native too yet plenty of it grow all over the world.
The cuttings most likely came out by ships, these days by air.. |
