Sam,

you are amazing!!!

One day I will find a usable Orange flowering Boug [ fades to a pinky red ] which is my favourite colour, and then beg you for soil mix, growing technique and so on...................

For now I will just sit and enjoy.
Thanks for all the entries showing your work over the years, it is inspiring!!!!!!

Love all your Bouganvillea, incredible pieces. This one is no exception. Thanks for sharing. I really need to hunt for better "urban yamadori". There is an untapped resource out there of old landscape plantings that are scheduled for rejuvenation or demolition that I have not explored enough as much as I should. Thanks for the inspiration.

Absolutely agree with this. I just collected 6 trees from a garden renovation.
2 large Murraya and 4 Buxus

Back on Topic, Lovely trees Sam. I have a few larger Bougy myself that have been collected, but nothing quite the size of yours.
I particularly like the idea of burning to add interest to the carvings

thanks for the comments, all

Sam, gorgeous as always! I have my eye on some urban yamadori this Winter; love those "freebies".

thanks, todd

happy new year, sam

and to you as well; happy growing!

Pretty Nice! I've always missed bougies after moving away from Hawaii I plan on getting one this spring as soon as I can find one that is lol

don't u miss it?

Hey Sam,
i remember this post when you first dug these, they look great. I ve since aquired some nice bougies of my own from the landscape guys at my work. A couple bigs ones too. My question is how do you get so much growth keeping them in a pot, what do you feed them and how oftwn?
