I am so happy
to read this post. I want so much to have a least one bougainvillea in our yard and thank you for the information on the dwarf/thornless varieties.
I wonder if the ones in Spanish Springs will come back - or are they completely dead? I never saw them but it sounds like they were beautiful. I am from California and I have always dreamed of having a bougainvillea in my yard. I didn't realize the frost would kill them so easily.
I guess I will have to do a lot more research.
Thanks again for the information.
