    I bought this lovely pinky/cherry red bougainvillea today at Homebase reduced down to £5.33. I have been looking online for one but they all have extortionate prices not to mention the postage on top of that! Besides that this is the first one I will have tried growing and if I'd paid loads dor it and it didn't survive I'd have been gutted lol! I intend to bring it in the house overwinter so fingers crossed it will love me and reward me by growing into a nice big boy LOL!

    Great Bargain Catztail, I haven't been near a GC for weeks, the weather sort of put me off :( Now you have got me in the mood :)
