𝗕𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗮 is a stunning flower that is favorite to many who have fallen in love with its cheery appearance and brightly colored petals. Grown in shades of red, orange, pink, white, and some variegated tri-colors, the soft and delicate “paper-like” petals have made it famous across the world.

The symbolic meaning of bougainvillea changes from one area of the globe to another but the majority claims it stands as a sign of welcoming visitors and beauty.

Sunlight - They need at least 6 hours a day to produce all that color we love.

Not enough sun = not enough bloom.

Warm Temperatures - They love the heat!

Well-drained Soil - They’re not too fussy about soil type but it must drain freely. A mixture of loam & organic compost worked into the native soil is what they like.

Happy Easter! 🌱 Where do you find your hope? It can be easy to place our hope in temporary things, but these will all fail us. Romans 10:10-11 says that anyone who trusts in Christ will never be put to shame. This means that God will never let us down. We can have hope in Him knowing that He will never fail us.
