Today my lawn is carpeted with bougainvillea petals.
All throughout the streets and parks in southern California, jacaranda trees are showcasing their beautiful blue flowers. A beautiful petal carpet surrounds the tree.
What a show!

Lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday.
I played too. Mine is here.
Hi Komali, I always collect some of my fallen bougainvillea petals and store them in a big open jar. Those petals keep beautifully and decorativ for a long time because they keep their color. Bougainvilleas are so pretty.
