Bouganvillia
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". BRBR zemedelec |

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?? "Zemedelec" wrote in message ...

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. "Aria" wrote in message newsPfvb.2225$m24.1824@fed1read02...

Feral garden I like that Conjures up all sorts of interesting images

I am growing a violet and white bouganvilliea along a fence trellis, but does anyone know how far from the parent plant this can be done? I have seen them spread 8 m or more but if you want to cover a long fence you will get a better and quicker result with several plants (say) 4-5 m apart. What does your neighbour think of the thorny leaders heading over the fence? David My neighbour has a feral garden; it is one big thicket. Not only is it inpenetratable, but one of his ivys had crawled up another neighbour's sheer brick wall and smothered it completely.

Yes, it is warmer. Sis
"David Hare-Scott" wrote in message ... "Sis" wrote in message ... Thanks so much for your advice. I live in Pa. I thought they bloomed all season. My cousin in Ca has them and I thought I remember that hers bloomed all summer. Sis My knowledge of USA geography is not wonderful but I am guessing that the summer is a fair bit warmer and longer at your cousin's place than yours, is that so? David |
