To get my two bougainvilleas, I planted five small plants in a row and only
two of these grew. I bought them from a supermarket.
When I plant this sort of thing I always plant several different types
together so that the inferior ones can be discarded later, and this saves
time.
Evidently some plants are weaker, or badly grafted and do far worse than
others.

I live in the desert and all the neighbors have huge Bouganvillia's
climbing
all over the place. My piddly plants have been in the ground for over 2
years and stand no more than a 1 1/2. Can't figure out what the deal is???
Any suggestions??

Colonies of birds breed in this ivy
and their screeching, twittering and cawing keep me awake at 4.00 in the
morning. I hope my bouganvillea will camoflage the hideous mess.

Good luck. And with those inch-long, iron-hard thorns it may even serve
as a
natural "Bird-Away".
