Such a pretty evening at sunset on the Intracoastal Waterway a few nights ago! This was captured from the island of Palm Beach side looking over toward the West Palm skyline and the Flagler Bridge . The waterfront in Palm Beach is lined with flowering bougainvillea plants and they are in full glory now as 'winter' approaches!

Image Description: ............Bougainvilleas are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates. Locarno in Switzerland, with its mild Mediterranean climate, is famous for its bougainvilleas. Although it is frost-sensitive and hardy in U.S. Hardiness Zones 9b and 10, bougainvillea can be used as a houseplant or hanging basket in cooler climates. In the landscape, it makes an excellent hot season plant, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for warm climates year-round. Its high salt tolerance makes it a natural choice for color in coastal regions. It can be pruned into a standard, but is also grown along fence lines, on walls, incontainers and hanging baskets, and as a hedge or an accent plant. Its long arching thorny branches bear heart-shaped leaves and masses of papery bracts in white, pink, orange, purple, and burgundy. Many cultivars, including double-flowered and variegated, are available. Many of today's bougainvillea are the result of interbreeding among only three out of the eighteen South American s

Very nice, Debra! Reminiscent of photos you've taken in the past; must be the same location, right? (I'm having great difficulty posting a comment this morning; hope this one goes through all right and isn't copied several times!)

Thank you to all of my WunderFriends for the lovely notes, likes, and votes! I appreciate you Mary, Elaine, Bernard, Tanya, Kathy, Carol, Dorothy, Heidrun, Katy, Ingrid, Larry, Wanda, Mary, Ivan, Dave, and Larisa!
For Kathy: Yes, this is the same exact spot as a year ago and those bougainvilleas will be blooming for most of the year. They love the humidity there!
Celebrating life, Debra

That is beautiful Debra and I am a big fan of bouganvilla once seeing a half mile of them in Hawaii, but of course they do not grow here. Have a very blessed Holy season Debra to you and yours. God bless and I do enjoy your pictures.
