Hello my loving Asean Hive community,
Welcome back to my nature blog. How are you guys? How is it going ? Is everything OK? These days I've been talking about the vegetables I've grown in my backyard. It's been a while since I've not talked about the flowers I've grown in my front yard. Yesterday I talked about the 2x spicy noodles I made with my friends. Today I'm going to tell you about the Bougainvillea I planted in my front yard.
Do you like to plant plants? And do you love flowers? Some people love pets very much, don't they? I love pets, but I also love plants and flowers. When I finished high school, I wanted to go to an agricultural college. However, I haven't been able to go to that college yet because of politics. However, in my small backyard, I grow and maintain vegetable and flower plants every day with my father.
The first picture was taken about 5 years ago, when we first moved into this house. At that time, my father and I had just started planting small plants in the front yard. The second picture is the one I took today. Now the plants in front of my house are quite big and the flowers are blooming in all colors. Now I will tell you about the bougainvillea plant that I have planted at my house.
Have you seen the flower I showed above before? I think you can find this flower in many places in many ASEAN countries. What is the name of this flower in your area? And when does this flower bloom in your area?
The name of the flower is Bougainvillea, and in our area they call it 'paper flower'. I think they call it 'paper flower' because Bougainvilleas have no scent and their petals are as thin as paper.
What is the weather like in your area right now? In our area, it is spring. These paper flowers also bloom in abundance in our area during the spring and summer. These paper flowers are easy to grow and can withstand rough conditions.
We have four different colors of paper flowers planted in front of our house. These colors are white, red, pink, yellow, and purple. And these paper flowers are very easy to grow. Would you believe that we didn't buy and grow all those paper flower plants? All those plants were cut from branches by my father from his friends. Those branches didn't even have roots. My father put all those branches in the soil and mixed them with neutral fertilizer. All of these paper flowers are grown in this way.
You can see in the picture above that the paper flower Bougainvillea is different from other flowers. In our area, that paper flower is called the Japanese fire stand paper flower. The shape of this paper flower is different from other paper flowers, the flowers are small and the flowers are clustered at the top of the branch.
That's it for today, but thank you very much for reading my post to the end. 🍇
