This was an impulse purchase! I was looking for a geranium and did find a very nice one at an affordable price, but the Bougainvillea was right next to it, and I had just never seen such a pretty one before and had to have it. A neighbor at my vacation home has a huge red one which I just love to see when I look out my window, but it is SO messy and bushels of the bracts blow across the street and become trapped in my carport. One time another neighbor came by as I was sweeping them out and asked "Don't you hate that?" I replied that I love the plant so much that I didn't mind. The bracts are a bit difficult to sweep up, however, as they sort of stick to the concrete.
So I am thinking I will try to keep this one indoors. I should think it would make a stunning bonsai.
The yellow flowers are from my Edible Chrysanthemum aka Crown Daisy.
