Bougainvillea ... from The Hutton Family
Gardenia ... from The Staff at The North Cairns Post Office
** these two plants grow alongside each other and are updated here together **
This Bougainvillea last flowered during September 2017 ... and that is nine months ago !!
Since these shots were taken, the plant has hardly grown at all
In fact, all it has done over that time was to lose a lot of leaves and go very, very "woody" in the stems
Yep, it was decision time !! ... time for it to be Cut Back !!
The photos below tell the story of The Secateurs !!
This Gardenia has lots and lots of beautiful white flowers ... fantastic !!
But like the Bougainvillea, it has started going very "woody" and the flowering has almost stopped
The same decision was made ... Secateurs and a Cut Back
Now we wait and see what will happen with these Two Pots !!

Growing extremely well !! ... and yes, there is a New Flower !!
The "string supports" were again added to try to keep this Bougainvillea a 'bush' rather than a 'rambling plant'
and by tying the branches into new positions, the Flowers also moved ... but they are still there !!
