#bougainvillea
Pantone 2415 color match.
A magenta Bougainvillea flower from my backyard. We’ve had it for several years and hasn’t really bloomed. But this year, it did, and it spread pretty widely trying to scale our fence. We planted it in our backyard because it reminds us of our home countries, Indonesia and India, as Bougainvilleas grow abundantly over there. Thankfully, Texas’ weather is pretty much tropical My husband and I are happy to see that it finally bloomed nicely
During the summer months, I forget how beautiful Bougainvillea flowers really are.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I planted these bougainvilleas when my stepdad and dad passed away.
I live on the central coast of California, and it gets foggy and it is a bit more chilly. And even though bougainvilleas love lots of sun, they are growing and look at all the blooms! Makes me so happy!
If you’ve lost someone, get a plant in their name. Make a commitment to take care of it and grow it. Doing so has helped me so damn much!
The plan is to grow the bougainvilleas and make a wall. On the bottom, I’m going black berries and making them fall down the container.
