Felicia, it is a bougainvillea, another favorite of mine. PLEASE move some land for me too when you come. That is the only flaw in living here, no land!!

LOL Joan! You do not believe moi? LOL. Most people do not let them grow so big. I see huge yellows a lot, I used to have one too. LOL. Too bad I missed the huge flush. I have seen this one with just sheets of flowers coming off all the branches. There is a big one I pass everyday when I used to work. I should get a picture of that one too. They trim it a lot but still huge.

Actually Kin, this owner is so proud of his tree. He runs out everytime I come and offers me cuttings. He then tells me how his neighbor was moving and gave him a small plant of it a few years ago and how it just took off. He also prunes it a lot. And he never fertilizes it at all. LOL

In the past I have seen huge Poinsettias, Raydio. But now that you mention it, not so much anymore. I think that was popular with a lot of older gardeners. If I see one I will be sure to take a photo for you.

I also saw this on my travels today. I need to show my DH to see if he knows the year. It had Ultramatic Drive on the back of it which I got such a kick out of. LOL

The paint just glistened on this pristine Packard.
