I would love it very much if I could grow bougainvilleas here in my home in northern America. They grew everywhere in my fatherland. I would love to see them grow over our fence.

Sadly my mum died last year.



My stepfather took out all her bogainvilleas out down the side and SEVERELY hacks up the front ones...



It's tough stuff. It grows back with a vengence.

Government pyromaniacs in case there is a catastrophic fire event.



They burn off the understory in the forest and then leave the logs smoldering choking all of us... I've been up in our hills taking photographic evidence.
