    Another find at the mark-down rack. This is my first Bouganvillea... and some of it's first blooms. Hope it grows well enough in the container until I can plant it at the family home!

    The mark-downs are my favorite (if you get them early). The things I picked up in the last month or so didn't look bad at all... just looked like they needed a good home. The other day I looked at the mark-down rack and you couldn't have GIVEN me a thing off it! :-o
    I guess it's all in the timing, as they say.

    Great find! I "snipped" a little piece off a pink Bouganvillea a few years back and it is finally starting to take off :)
