Beautiful Bougainvillea – Always a show stopper

Pretty in Pink Bougainvillea
A Beautiful Patio Umbrella in Bosa, Sardegna

Anywhere that Bougainvillea can THRIVE year round is a good place for us!

Since we are Canadian prairie dwellers living in a Zone 3a plant hardiness region, with lows of -40 Celsius, this may explain our intense love affair with this tropical beauty. The sight of a 30 foot high, florescent pink explosion of color is good for our souls.

And… knowing that Bougainvillea grows throughout most of Italy, makes us love this country just that much more.

    Bougainvillea!! I have fallen in love with Antigua and all of it’s natural beauty. The bougainvillea is a show stopper. ????????. Bummer that it doesn’t grow in the northeast. I would have it everywhere. Makes me so happy!! * * * *

      We love the bougainvillea! It’s impossible for us not to stop and take a photo of them when we come across one. 🙂
