Our bougainvillea finally has some color on it. These interesting little plants are known for their pinks, purples and yellow. However, the reason they're so interesting is that it is not the flower of the plant that provides the color...it is the leaves. After many green leaves come out, finally some colored ones, in this case pink, to liven up the scene. We were not sure if ours would do it this year because this was a hold-over plant from last year. We kept it alive in the garage during the winter. It appears that they just take longer to "bloom" when they're not given the greenhouse treatment from the nursery.
