I kept admiring this plant – it is so cool, it climbs up a long ways or it is a really thick bush/fence. It has these huge, gorgeous flowers – like the size of my hand. I just kept seeing different variations & asking what it was and I kept being told it was a Bougevilla (I totally don’t know if that is spelled right, that is how I imagined what I thought I was hearing to be spelled) anyway, so I kept being told it was this same word.

One evening we were eating dinner by the pool and I said to Aunt Sandy – that thing is so cool, tell me the name again. Her answer is what gives me the giggles – she said “Oh, that’s just a ‘Bougevilla’ they’re really pretty when watered right.You’re only supposed to water them every 90 days IF it’s hot, that one is too leggy because it gets too much water from the sprinkler system.” I burst out laughing –every 90 days IF it’s hot?! I thought this one was really pretty, I can’t imagine what really full or watered right would be. I like this plant – I’d never have to water it & it has really pretty flowers on it.

Anyway, just had to share that. For whatever reason it just really tickled my funny bone & still does, a month later! 🙂 I think it was the way she said it so matter of fact, no big deal – like that is normal.
