Our garden has loads of bougainvillea as a result of the deep pruning we did earlier. What drew my attention a while ago was this red bougainvillea that has bloomed in isolation. I just could not take my eyes off it. I found it exotic and beautiful. Thought of sharing it with you.

I'm jealous of your garden. I want to have red bougainvillea in my garden but I haven't buy one until now. I think their roots are sensitive they don't easily transfer to new soil. I had a peach bougainvillea but it did not bloom it's peach colored flowers just full of leaves no flower

You need just a cutting and that will take root. Wonder why your peach flower did not bloom. You must be watering too much.

@averygirl72 Once a week. And if you see leaves drooping then you can do it twice. I sent you a peach flower. Did it not register in your box?

@allknowing Yes I watered it a lot. Maybe that's the reason how often should it be watered?

Those flowers are indeed beautiful. In Kerala you can see a raw of these plants on fences. It gives beauty as well as protection. Its thorn given protection and flowers in mob will be wonderful scene.

Thank you that does look really beautiful too. How many other kinds of flowers do you grow then. I was looking at the Palm Trees and the state some of them are in. A few seem healthy enough and the rest have orange coloured leaves.
