BOUGAINVILLEAS!!!!!

Oh man do I love this plant!!! I was looking around online after I had bought a hanging basket with a hot pink and a golden orange and just feel in love. I hate to say this, but my love for this plant rivals my love for the all mighty rose. I have 12 roses in the yard and have 7 bouginvilleas. My newest buy is the Sihouette. Its a soft purple dwarf shrub. Oh its so pretty. Im going back today for a few more of those and a few of the Miss Alice it plant with them.

I also got a passion purple...CANT wait to see it bloom.

Im on the hunt for a San Diego Red.

*** Update :( I went back to get more of the Sihouette and a few Miss Alice....they were all gone and I was told, that they arent getting anymore this year. >heart breaks< I guess is just as well. Winter isnt too far off and these plants have a fairly weak root systems. If I couldnt get the roots down deep enough by first frost, I would have lost them. I do beleive the Plant Fates have stepped in. DAMN THEM! j/k**

Pinkie WalMarts has a digatil that holds lots og pictures for less than $20.00
Thats works pretty good until you find a good one you want.
Its hard to believe you found something other than your roses :)
