I love bougainvillea and have 2 small plants that I hope to one day have them grow into a small shrub in a container. Only 2 of the 4 starters I planted made it through the indoor wintering, but I’m not giving up! Will repot to give them extra room this year. Maybe they will decide to like me as much as I like them. Fingers crossed.

Never give up.

My dear friend loves plumerias that have been grafted so there are different branches on each tree with different blossoms - there is a fabulous one near my home.

We finally ran into a gardener in his yard who had one of these grafted plumerias and asked him how he did it.

He said a LOT of trial and error and a LOT of patience. He will do 10 and hopefully one will take.

I haven’t done this (yet) and may try it - but don’t need or want the frustration - and I don’t have years left to experiment - so I’ll stick with my single bloom trees.
