| 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 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. regards to all chas |

| 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. |
