My flowers for today are called the Bougainvillas.
It is the favorite of my human companion Lui.
According to Lui, it is one of the best flowers
to have in a tropical climate like ours
because it is sturdy, it blooms all year round,
and it is always beautiful!
The bougainvillas above are really colored red-orange.
Lui found it around our neighbordhood in one of her walks.
But the common ones we have are this pink color:
. . . with some white in between, or all-white like this:
But whatever color they have
always manage to come out full and beautiful!
And at times they looked like beautiful puffy clouds on a hot day!
Even from a distance you can admire these flowers!
So when a vendor begged Lui to buy some . . .
Lui almost gave in . . . but no. Lui did not buy.
Lui is not good in planting flowers and pruning them.
Lui only water and talk and sing to the plants!
It is my other human companion Luchi who takes care of the plants.
And Luchi does not want any Bougainvillas in our house Heaven
because she said it is difficult for her to take care of them
plus they have sharp thorns that can hurt dogs like us!
But the vendor left the flowers at our gate
in a futile attempt to entice Lui to buy . . .
But Lui and I can only sigh.
I have a secret to tell you about these flowers though.
They don't have a scent and they don't sing at all!
