Friday's In The Garden...Bougenvilla's

There are some plants that I definitely took for granted when I lived in a warmer climate. As many of you gardeners know, you just can't grow everything...everywhere. Of all the perennials I miss, I would have to say that Bougenvilla's are on the top of the list.

They grow like weeds in many parts of the country. In fact, my parents took theirs out because they kept getting too big. Here in NJ, you can get them but you would need to overwinter them.....and that is a real pain. I did try for two winters, and it just wasn't happy. 

Here are some of the fabulous colors they come in
