It’s a bit like that here too, but it’s my favourite weed. 🙂 🙂 We have one on a pergola up on the roof.

Oh, I love it, too! Thankfully, it grows very well in Houston, so I finally get to see it all the time.

Ahh yes they’re gorgeous plants and I’m sure yours will thrive darling. I hope the rain knows when to stop, we caught the last dry day in Barca, but now it’s here. Have a good week my lovely x:-)x

Bougainvillea always make such a pretty display, especially if they’re allowed to run riot instead of being trimmed.

The bougainvillea in my garden is blossoming so beautifully, too, Jo. I love them! In our dry climate I sometimes have trouble maintaining truly colorful plants, but these wonderful show-offs never disappoint. Your photo is perfect. 🙂

They got deluged today, Debbie! It’s dark now but I shall go up in the morning with trepidation to check if the blossoms have survived. 🙂 🙂 The earth has heaved a sigh of relief.

I was just trying to remember if I’d used the same six for hydrangeas! Must have been very similar, anyway. 🙂 🙂
