I have a deep red one, much bigger flowers but more sensitive to cold than the one you have. I love that plant - the flower looks like such a delicate leaf petal
lovely pic - thanks for sharing.
I'm focussing on the veggie patch this year ;)

Yeah the Bouganvillier is gorgeoussss... but they're really hard to maintain/keep here in the heat... they don't like a ton of water, but we're having to find some kind of balance... The one we got was a solid bush about 4 feet high.. of nothing but the deep purple flowers... at least they look deep purple in person..
I have no idea how long it'll bloom in zone 9 though.. got my fingers crossed.
