Has anyone else here had an "in-your-face" up-close encounter with a mature Bougainvillea plant?
Planted correctly, they could cover the whole border in less than four years.

You said a mouthful. I have one in my front yard.
The thing that would not die!

I've got one in my back yard that I just got through pruning. That damn thing fought back all the way, and I have the marks to show it.
If you threw someone into one of those things, they'd never get out. And no one could get through if several were used as a fence.
