Bougainvillea

Mandevilla

At one time, we had pink Mandevilla

growing all along the fence in the

courtyard portion of our garden.

Cold weather did

irreparable damage and

they are no longer.

The same with the beautiful

Bougainvillea that grew

for many years,

trimmed to

grow in an umbrella shape

ah.....so pretty

It was my pride and joy.....

until, one year, it

became completely infested with

tiny green worms.

Nothing would keep them away,

and the Mister, sadly

removed the badly

damaged plant

from the garden.

Other pretty tropicals now

grow in their places.

Alas, I still remember,

and do so miss

the

lovely

pinks

of the

Bougainvillea

and the Mandevilla.

-

It is with them in mind

that this little painting

came to be.
