I got this Bougie from a friend who works as a groundskeeper at Maui Airport. I had just potted it up into a Tokoname bonsai pot. I would like to hear any suggestions you all might have on it. Much Mahalo.

Re: Airport Bougainvillea
Hey Tim nice pot mate , I think what needs to happen at this stage tim is plenty of wiring, before they become too brittle. Tim do you have a virt on this one ,could be a nice boug ? Something else to consider is would this boug look better is a glazed pot, to highlight it`s beautiful flowers. 
Cheers Rod......

Howzit Rod,
Sorry, I don't have a virt on this one. You did one on my other bougie. If you could, I'd be happy if you did one so I have an idea to follow. Right now I'm just following what the bougie is doing. I was thinking about a glazed pot but I thought it would take away from the bracts. Your thoughts on this Sir.
