Bouganvilleas
In the Philippines, we have three seasons - hot, hotter, and hottest. We are about to bid goodbye to the hottest season as we start to welcome more and more rains. Kidding Aside, the two seasons are actually wet and dry. August usually opens the typhoon and monsoon seasons where a lot of typhoons start to trace its path coming from the Pacific.
This beautiful Bouganvillea are the last reminders of the long sunny afternoons as the torrential rains that visited us last weekend just melted most of them. Stay dry Cavite, we still have a pandemic (record high) to fight!
Ohh soo nice with that good weather you have, hot, hotter and hottest!
ReplyDeleteWow I should love a little bit of that sun!
Nice flower photo !
wish you a happy day!
I think you'll love the weather here Anita :) Happy new week!
DeleteLooks gorgeous and you will be glad of the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Ananka! On the other hand, I've been hearing a lot of news how Britain is experiencing hotter weather now. Stay hydrated!
DeleteAren't those stunning! These are really remarkable flowers!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Jeanie! It always reminds me of my Grandpa who planted those :)
Delete...hot, hotter and hottest wouldn't be for me! I understand that Bougainvilleas are happy on the dry side!
ReplyDeleteSame here Tom! no matter if I lived with it for 3 decades already! I;d always choose colder :)
DeleteBeautiful flowers. I used to plant one in front of my house. Even though it doesn't bloom much, I never tire pruning the plant and cleaning the area. Sadly, I found the entire plant dug out by my neighbour upon my return from my weekend at mom's. Reason given was he was afraid snakes might make a nest there. No replacement after that. Very sore, yes. Decided not to pick an argument.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Lili! That is would be so hard for me too! But I really admire your patience to not pick a fight even if you have done your best to prune it and clean it as a regimen. It was just a weekend then boom! gone! ughhh! I wish you'll have newer plants in the future :)
DeleteHot is too hot for me never mind hottest. :) Such a pretty and nice composed photo, Stevenson. I didn't realize you still had this blog but it came up in my reader. Good to see it alive and well. Have a wonderful day and stay safe!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much Bill for visiting :) To be honest I'm running out of photos from my Province since I'm locked at home but I really hope I can take more shots for this one soon :) have a great day my friend Bill!
DeleteGood to see you back in blogland Stevenson. Your buganvilias as gorgeous. I hope you don't get one of those typhoons. And like your area, we have lots of cases here too. I hope people start wearing masks and getting this under control soon. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteHello dearest Erika! Thank you so much for visiting again, I really love your visits! You are right I hope there will be no destructive types this year for us, we all had enough of catastrophes for the year. Sending you hugs and hope the cases there will be lower soon.
DeleteBeautiful flowers, dear Stevenson and... can´t get hot enough for me :-)
ReplyDeleteI´m Australian-proofed and even loved Darwin´s wet season.
We slept in the car, (nearly) always and even as we wondered if any of the two of us´d bought fish and it turned out the potatoes´d gone bad due to the humidity, I loved the weather (Ingo not so much, he had to gag a lot getting the rotten things out of the car ;-)...)
If we´re lucky 27C today!
27C sounds so perfect! That will be on the cooler side in here dear Iris! Hahaha Oh humidity does kill a lot of things here but also gives life to some others too :) Sending hugs dear Iris!
DeleteMy daughter and son in law will be leaving the Philippines in about 2 months to go and work in Germany and they say they will really miss the year round sunny and warm weather.
ReplyDeleteI love bougainvilleas and had 2 right next to the front of our house, but they never really flowered much and my husband was worried about their roots lifting some bricks so he cut them down. I bought a "baby" one in a pot but again it hardly ever flowers!
Oh! That is very nice, it will be a brand new experience for them to be in Germany, how I really wish I can also find work abroad so I can experience new culture. I wish your baby one would grow and flower with such vibrant colors dear Sami!
DeleteDear Stevenson, just look what I found, "perfect for cold temps" ;-)
ReplyDeleteBanana-Peel-Bacon - reckon I´ll even try this!!
DEAR IRIS! What an AMAZING way to fix those banana peals! i don;t know if anybody in the world doesn't love Bacon! Please do tell me when you try it :)
DeleteThat is a beautiful flower...I hope you are staying safe and well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much dearest Rose! having feverish feelings during evenings but it goes away in the morning (very weird). Hope you are well and better then my ill feels :)
DeleteHello my friend Stevenson.
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely bougenville flowers.
I also love the clustered flowers and the many color options.
There is a belief that grows in the Javanese community where I live, the Bougenville plant is taboo to be planted in homes where there are unmarried girls because it is believed that the beauty of this flower can beat the prestige of the beauty of girls.
Whether it's true or not, I don't know for sure.
Por aquí aún nos quedan muchos días de calor. Se agradece cuando bajan algunos grados, ya que el verano en mi ciudad es bastante penoso.
