This is about life in my gardens. One is an acre on a hillside in Laguna Beach, California and the other is an acre in San Juan Capistrano, California.

Shine Through
Here's a hint if you are planting bougainvillea, plant it so it will grow high and the sunlight will back light the translucent bracts. It makes a lovely sight against the beautiful blue skies in the fall!
I love backlighting of plants. The bougainvillea is lovely. When we build (someday) I hope to watch the land and she how the sun moves through it...then plan where the house and gardens will sit. gail
Sheila I have always wondered about these vines and how gorgeous they are .. the problem is I don't have a safe place to store it during the winter .. but oh my .. I would love to have this beauty on my deck ! Joy : )

Pink in the fall! Beautiful! Not for our climate, unfortunately!
