Bougainvillea
Crape Mrytle Bush
A while back, the fence in this portion of the garden,
was covered with a beautiful Mandevilla like this......
Then, we had bitter cold weather here in
Florida, lasting several days,
and my beautiful vining plant,
was no longer. I tried again and
again, planting new Mandevilla and
for some reason
they no longer grew in this location.
We've since, planted a variety of plants
in that area....a lovely Crape Myrtle bush,
and various other small plants. Still,
not satisfied, I was missing the colorful vine
that once covered the fence.
This year we planted a fuchsia colored
Bougainvillea and it is thriving.
Seemingly it's a fast grower,
perhaps helped along by all the rain
we've been having.
Hopefully it will cover
the fence in no time at all, and, add lots of color.
