Purple Bougainvillea Vine

 

My house in Honolulu town

Is big and cool. The roof is brown.

It once was red but now the sun

Has faded it. The vines have run

In purple splendour everywhere.

They look so fine, I do not care

To tear their gorgeous blossoms down

And paint the roof. I like it brown.

bouganvilla

Majenta is a color of beauty on this bougainvillea vine.


Oranges and pinks join together for a lovely blend of subtle tints.


"The sweetest flowers in all the world-A baby's hands."

-----Algernon Charles Swinburne

The pink bougainvillea displays its summer colors with perfection.
