actually it is not red as shows on pic. these plants are Fushia in color, more deep pink than red, if it were red it would not be at my house, as everything must coordinate even my plants....

Bougainvillea. One of mytfavourite plants. It';s such a pity that we can't grow them here. And there are so many different coloured ones. I know the tint that you describe, it's a lovely one.
Your speciman looks really nice there. Congrats...and thanks for showing it.

How festive SusieQ! I'd love to see a shot at night with the lights on too!
Bougainvillea's are so lovely - pity they are so thorny.

That is one BIG Bougainvillea. I love those plants and like to keep them pruned back, so they get fuller and fuller.

What a great idea.  So beautiful, both day and night. It looks so festive.
You had the right idea there SuzieQ - make do with the plants you have. The bougainvillea is such a beautiful shrub and I think that your idea is fantastic.
