As I was watched the children play with the Milk Bottle Lid Boats in the rain, I noticed how pretty the bougainvillea looked behind them. I think I noticed it especially since the day was so grey. Many of the pink-purple bougainvillea flowers have fallen off, creating a carpet of colour on the ground. It’s beautiful!
I wanted to bring that beauty into the house so I collected some flowers and put them in a crystal basket vase that I haven’t used for a long time. So pretty! They also look gorgeous floating in a bowl of water.
Just putting a bit of colour into a grey day. That’s all.

Thanks Naomi. Is such a gorgeous colour. Brightens up my table.
Beautiful! That’s one of my favorite plants!!
….Today my mother was telling me how beautiful they are all over my country, here in Puerto Rico we call them “Trinitaria”.
Trinitaria…so interesting Viviana. I love knowing stuff like that. It’s one of my favourite plants too. They come in such vibrant colours, don’t they?
Yes! I have seen them in purple, yellow and white. You can see them all overover the caribbean area. I am growing one like yours on my backyard. I took one small stick of it and planted in another part and it’s blooming
Are you serious your backyard looks like that? SO PRETTY! Jealous I am indeed!
Loving the crystal basket vase! Flowers do brighten things up, grey rainy days can bring you down!
This is such a simple idea and yet so gorgeous. I think it will be something I will try to remember to do. Thanks for such a good idea.
