Bloomin' Bougie

This Bloomin' Entry is for N to brighten up her day.
The sun is always bright in India but sometimes we struggle to find that inner light.
Delhi offers the most hectic of lives, often confined to the inside of a car or a building and taking stock is so much more precious.There is so much beauty. The tendency, not surprisingly, is to stride past, so this entry is an enforced meander in the gardens that surround my house, thirty seconds worth of a page full of bloomin colour to create the backdrop to your day.
Bougainvillea is one plant that I am familiar with. It grows well in my country and it is widespread.Bougainvillea  is native to South America.Currently, there are over 300 varieties of bougainvillea around the world. Indian bougie is just magnificent.
Here it is ubiquitous but also unique. The profusion, the colour, the contrasts, the depth.
