Falling bougainvillea

iPhone 12 Wide Angle mode

I’ve never quite figured out the cycle of bougainvillea here in humid Hong Kong. In the med they flower constantly. They like it dry. Here they are sometimes out and sometimes bare and now they’re dropping flowers as summer approaches and after they’ve had an unusually abundant flowering. They say you’ve got to treat ‘em rough. They like a bit of rough. Perhaps this year it was a dry but warm winter that made them flower so prolificallly.

Two chambers: one for adding new, while the other is maturing.
Made of recycled and recyclable plastic. So far so great.
