It's B for Bougainvilla....#5

Pictures of bougainvillae taken in 2010. This red species is planted in a pot and put in front of the house. Unfortunately, while working on a tree near the pot, Pakar accidently knocked the pot down and it broke. Haven't had time to buy a near one but alhamdulillah, the plant is still ok. A hardy plant indeed.

Another view...oh, i love the red colour...

Such vibrant colour.

Bougainvilla or bunga kertas, as popularly known, is a hardy plant. The ones that we have at home were given to us by our ex-babysitter, Kak Mashitah (or Kak Mas) from Kayu Ara, Damansara. So these plants are more than 20 years old!!

There are the whites, fuschias/maroonish ones. All are in pots. The one that keeps on flowering is the white. One plant is the verigiated species.

Have seen too, bougainvillas planted along the sides of the LEKAS highway.
