debra, i kill those bougie too and they are one of my favorite childhood flowers. I think of my grandmother's house with a humongous one growing over the side of the house with a swing underneath it. In my country, the literal translation for their name is 'paper flowers'. Once their leaves fall of, they don't usually survive the winter. I just bought one a month ago on clearance at the local nursery for 2.50!
