Bougainvillea has to be one of the most perfect flowering creepers for hot weather conditions. The bougainvillea climbing up the framework of the new walkway that leads to the Bell Tower was flowering profusely when we were in the city on Friday. You can see the network of wires above and below ready to capture the spreading creepers that will give much needed shade in the hot summer months. This and the view down Barrack Street may be the best views of the Bell Tower when the construction in front of it is complete. That reminds me.. I have to trim the bougainvillea that is running rampant on my own fence :) Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..
What a show that will be when it grows to cover the wires. It's pretty nice now.
ReplyDeleteYou are getting SO GOOD! What an eye
ReplyDelete...over here on Maui they love to shear the dickens out of Bougainvillea!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful plant. The blue sky is gorgeous. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous, Grace! And a nice view of the tower!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Grace. One of the things I may miss during the summers here are all the gardens and such in the cities of the South. Not Florida, not much in flower gardens there that I found.
ReplyDeleteI adore bougainvillea. Love the statue of the kangaroo in your previous post.
ReplyDeleteBoougainvillea is bootiful, but drives me crazy! It doesn't last here in central Florida, although we had some on our fence at our first Ocala house and it did well for several years. But it's so hard to trim...prickly! And ours was by the pool so it feel in the pool and that created all kinds of problems. I love it in other people's yards and climbing other people's fences, though. Bootiful photos of this boogainviillea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Grace! Excellent framing with the tower.
ReplyDeleteNever let your bougainvillea get out of control, and for those not familiar with the plant, it has thorns, nasty ones and lots of them.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I would like to come hang out there right now and escape the snow.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I like those bursts of color!
ReplyDeleteFine way to add beauty to the shade while walking in the heat.
ReplyDeleteThey pop out so well against the summer sky. I'm surprised we don't have more here, since our summers can be nasty.
ReplyDeleteI just love how prolifically this flower blooms, we have one up the road from us that's a vibrant red.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking pretty that walkway. We have two bougainvillea against the house but because they grow so fast and go over the roof my husband is always cutting them down and of course they are prickly so he keeps on saying he will remove them one day.
ReplyDeleteBougainvillea are the fireworks of the floral world.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Grace! I really do hope to see the way covered fully next time we visit! Astonishing the flowers make it in that heat!
ReplyDeleteAdoro esta trepadeira tem umas flores muito bonitas e em cachos de várias cores.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

Loved the post. So beautiful pics.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week ahead.
Beautiful that bougainville!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, be careful trimming that bougainvillea. I do love looking at these beautiful plants but I do not miss having to trim them. I would always end up with scratches everywhere.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful! I wish we had them!
ReplyDeleteI love bougainvillea, my folks used to have huge mixture of colours in their small holding in Rhodesian days. Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We have them here too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! Arianna
ReplyDeleteWhen it gets going bougainvillea can be a floral riot. It's so beautiful...especially when it's someone else's.
ReplyDeleteThe Summer Flower is 'Bougainvillea'.
ReplyDeleteThis tree seems to give us (the Japanese) a impression of the summer Resort.
Oh my, this is just what all of us in the #BoldNorth need right now! Thank you for the beauty you capture.
