gday again this tree was given to me as a stick it had no foliage what so ever
it has been nurtured back with a stong feeding program and new soil every month to keep it fresh just letting it sit for a bit so it will grow a bit bigger and will also add some bending to it
cheers dean

Wow, I've never seen this species before, it has great, beautiful flowers! I see you take good care of it, if it just was a stick and now there are so many leaves and even flowers on it, good work. Will you post more pictures of this one in the future?

Thanks for publishing! :)

Hi Dean,

Wow! This is so beautiful! Do you know what the common and/or botanical name is for this plant? The flowers are exquisite and the leaves so dainty! It's hard to imagine this as just a stick...well done! How is it progressing? Would luv to see some new photos, please. ;) Thanks for sharing.

Hi Leslie,

This would be a bougainville; do a quick search on the internet. They family consists of some 15 species, all of which are shrub-like with a tendency to climb.
