Love in the wintertime...

Description

:laughing: There are various ways to maintain one's sanity during the long days of winter... while you're waiting for Spring... and I maintain mine :psychotic: by growing all types of plants under grow lights positioned in various places in our home :excited:

:giggle: yes, it IS a wonder that the police haven't dropped by to check and see if we are making extra money by growing funny little 5 leaf plants...simply due to the amount of UV's coming out our windows in the winter! :rofl:

Anyways, my little bougainvillea... which would be like a natural bonsai version of what Mary-Anne *Firey-Sunset grows in the ground in Australia... lives in a pot... and although it didn't bloom outside this past summer :cries: ...it is blooming NOW!! :woohoo:
Infact, if you look closely, you'll see that the center 3 white inner blooms (on stems) are still developing, and aren't open yet on this bloom.

Here's what it looked like outside in 2007

a very beautiful flower!!


PS you do know that a cousin of :weed: (the hemp) grows freely over here..
there is even a funny story with a very old man having a portion of his yard over grown with the stuff,
and the police dragged him of to jail for a few days, after which they "kindly" released him and gave his yard a good trim .. :lmao:
