2 new orange bougainvillea

friends who do yard maintenance came by yesterday to ask whether I'd be interested in having two orange bougainvillea they'd just removed from a client's landscape. I gratefully accepted.

the big tree yielded many interesting cuttings planted

the cuttings were watered, bagged and put in the shade. the bigger trees are in the shade out of the wind.

Hi there

Last week i found a huge bougainvillea for sale dug it up chopped at the stump and planted it. I also made quite a few cuttings ranging from 2-6 inches in thickness. I started a thread about it today with a few pics to look at. Just wondering how successful you are with your cuttings as this is my first time doing such a thing. I live in brisbane QLD Australia and the temp ranges from 25-35 degrees at this time of year. If you could have a look at my thread and give me any tips/advice it would be greatly appreciated as you seem to be quite experienced with bougainvillea and your projects look incredible. Thanks heaps in advance.
