~ Bougainvillea
I am so wishing this gorgeous bougainvillea was mine.
Yup!
I wish it was in my backyard, front yard or just about anywhere, as long I could see its beauty every day.
But in order to see THIS particular bougainvillea, I’d have to go back to Walt Disney World in Florida.
That’s where we captured this amazing shot.
I’m a little over the moon for this bougainvillea’s stunning color.

Hi Heather,
I think waking up to the bright colors of this bougainvillea would make any day a great day!

We live in WI and oh, do I wish we could grow one of these…

I’ve never thought about it but I suppose bougainvillea is a warm weather plant. We took this photo at Walt Disney World in Florida. We see them all over in Southern California where we live. I think I going to have to make a trip to the garden department today. Bougainvillea here we come! 😉

That is awful pretty!
Cathi says
Isn’t is lovely Kim? I’d love to have bougainvillea growing all over the supports and railing of my deck. Not sure on the upkeep of the deck after its covered in prickly vines though. Ha!

It’s a bit of a mind-bender to see bougainvilleas in a warm setting–when I’m so used to them at holiday-time in December.
Cathi says
Bougainvilleas are actually quite popular in Southern California and Florida. We actually took this photo at Walt Disney World. Interestingly, the Mexican restaurant at Disneyland in So Cal also is covered with bougainvillea. I think I need a Disney gardener! 😉
sandra davis says
that is so pretty. i would love to be able to look out my window and see that.
Cathi says
Thanks so much Sandra. As much as I adore bougainvillea, I’ve never actually had one of my own. Ha! I’m going to have to remedy that.
