      I love the bougainvillea as a background because it offers such strong swathes of color.

      They’re quite large and quite loud when they rumble by, and if they take a fancy to your house, they’ll drill neat round holes into the side of it to house their young!

            No, just wood houses but that’s bad enough. They do make tidy looking holes though!

   Gorgeous shot! I have the deep pink on my roof terrace but it’s looking a bit tired at the moment 😴💟

      Yes, bougainvilleas look great in full bloom, but they can look a bit shabby when they’re past their best.
