Its flowering time in my garden. Before the summer sets in fully, we are enjoying the riot of colours in the garden. Here is a glimpse of bougainvillea.
This is the multi petalled one in a shade ranging from pink to orange.
This one is the classic dark pink one.
This one is the single petaled, pink-orange shade.
Though growing in pots, being trained for Bonsai, they bloom at the beginning of summer. If proper care is taken, they will bloom through out the summer season. This is one hardy plant, actually vine with spikes, which can be grown in pots, or as fences or as climbers. They bloom in a variety of colours and the flowers are single, double or multi-petaled.
They are ornamental plants because of their colourful blooms and can be trained or cut in various shapes. They are easy to grow, as they require very little water. Thier growth varies from slow to fast, depending upon the variety of the plant. With frequent fertilisation, and if grown in plenty of sun light, they bloom well.
They can be reproduced through cuttings. There are nearly 300 varieties of these plants.
This is a good plant for novices and beginners in gardening as well as for Bonsai enthusiasts.
