Bougainvillea


I never really thought much of this flowering plant until I moved to Hawaii.  The first year I was here, a co-worker taught me how to make Haku Leis (headpiece) and we primarily used bougainvillea.  They were so pretty!  And the cool thing is that they are everywhere.  We drove around that day and just picked flowers along the side of the road to make the leis.

I came across this little book in my collection, "Happiness Is..." Complied by Gilbert Hay.  I found this inside, "Unless we find beauty and happiness in our backyard we will never find them in the mountains."  How true.
