I just saw this thread and will admit that I've only skimmed it, but WOW! What great bloomers y'all have!

My bougainvillea was planted in the ground and out of control. After Ike, I took it out completely and it's like a huge weight has been lifted. I got it pruned down to the trunk and then had to have help to get the rest of it out. The guys had to use an ax.

I took this pic yesterday b/c I was so excited to discover it. These are blooms on my toothache plant. I put the little pot in the pond last spring and forgot about it. The pot is laying on its side but the plant has compensated, so I'm just going to leave it as is.
