How are you all my friends?
So i was walking around the other day and saw some totally gorgeous plants like wow the colors are insane! I lowkey wanted to pick some blooms but knew the owner probably be mad 😅
So yeah just snapped tons of pics instead so i would not mess anything up now i can show you all how pretty they are!
The three kinds i saw are super common in warm spots bougainvillea, celosia and this one special bougainvillea
That looks like it’s got little specks all over its colorful bits!
First up’s bougainvillea common you KNOW this one! It’s literally everywhere in every hood and down every street.
In my photos you will see all sorts of shades soft pink and white bright pink red and bunches of deep purple magenta stuff
those are called bracts btw they look like petals but they are actually leaves around the tiny real flowers.
I even saw one shaped into a super cool arch over a path seeing it all spread out against the blue sky was so sick!
Bougainvillea’s such a boss when it comes to blooming too you don’t gotta do much for it..
Just give it lots of sun don’t overwater it and it will go wild! Plus it handles hot weather like a total pro!
Next up is celosia those bright yellow ones that stand up tall like little torches or fluffy combs!
I was so shocked by how bright they were like they drank up every single ray of sun out there. People also call them cockscomb or woolflower because the blooms look just like soft feathers
or thick cloth. And they are not just pretty outside dry them out and they stay looking awesome forever! You gotta water them more than bougainvillea though and they love nice rich dirt to grow good.
And last but not least this wild bougainvillea with coral pink bracts that look like someone splattered paint on them! I had no clue they came like this each one looks totally one of a kind..
For real though finding stuff like this just makes me so happy they make every place feel alive and warm and it proves warm weather’s perfect for growing amazing flowers!
