Bougainvilleas can be a little ostentatious, even gaudy at times, and this one just might qualify. Still, ostentatious, gaudy, whatever, this lush combination of flowers, aged character and power is magnificent. The photo is from the Club de Bonsaistas (facebook).
Bougs! That gorgeously gaudy semi-tropical wonder plant that seems to grace half the walls of the southern regions of our world. Turns out they make great bonsai too.
The power of the trunk rivals the brilliance of the flowers on this one. And then there's that pot (anybody know anything about it?). I found this on Salvatore Liporace's facebook feed a while back. We've featured Salvatore several times here on Bark and will no doubt feature him again.
Not so ostentatious but more elegant and lonely, clinging to cliff on some tropical island (well, actually in Florida, gracing Ed Trout's bonsai collection). Is that a coconut?
One of those southern walls. From My Greece Travel blog.
This one is designed to make me jealous. I don't have to tell you who the photo belongs to.
