I was lucky enough to be told by a friend he wished to get rid of his Bougainvillea's. Well here is one of them ! I had it soaking in Seasol for a couple of days. It is in the barrow as I had nothing else of size to put it in.

Hope it does mate, that's huge!

WOW!!!!! That's awesome!

I've been thinking about getting a Bougy, I hope it's the same as yours! Looking forward to seeing it in a few years.

Cheers,
Nigel

Hi M.J.

I used a concrete looking fiberglass pond as a pot for my biggie, I just drilled holes in the bottom for drainage.

I found a pot and it is now in. After having soaked for a few days it should come good. Yes the trunk is fantastic. I have another one to do up but it is not as appealing as this one. I was just worried that it may be a little late to have done this, but had no choice as my friend was pulling them up anyway.
