Beautiful weather, a lethargic Sunday afternoon. I decided the best way to shake off the Sunday blues was to get out and go for a long walk in our village surrounds.
I came across this healthily enthusiastic bougainvillaea. The abundance of colour is gorgeous, but I feel somewhat sorry for the tree that the bougainvillaea is all but suffocating - although the tree is gamely resisting by poking out its branches above the bougainvillaea.

Yes, indeed it does … maybe that’s why the gardener is reluctant to get stuck in there. These flowery bougeanvillea are also havens for wasp nests - another reason the gardener leaves it alone, he’s probably hopefully waiting for a hurricane to blow it away!
@cocokinetic Lol Karen. My husband grew up in a house with them in the neighbour's yard - and over the fence into their yard. He hates them with a passion!! :)
