That's amazing Azure. I had no idea we could grow it successfully over here. I have admired it abroad for many years.

Re: Bougianvillea

I think that is because it is an Oleander.

Bourgianvilleas as a rule have different leaves, thorns and papery flowers.

Its very beautiful though.

Yes, Panda, I have checked and it is an oleander, although sold as a Bougainvillaea at the Garden Centre
