We like staring at the Windows during the cold Winter months wishing when will Spring time comes or if there will be another drop of snow before Chinese New Year? Hey, that's not my wishful thinking. I know so many millions of people out there at staring at different kind of Windows. Windows 10! There's already Windows 11 while the Windows 98 still in operation in the new television series "Irreverent" at Showcase somewhere at the remote village in Australia.
So, while I was staring at the French door of this house, beside the door are the two plants: banana and bougainvillea. I remember the other day and wonder why Eko likes being there hiding from us. You know why? Suddenly the banana plant started wiggling and there he was trying to scratch and bite the banana trunk. I called her and offered the piece of beef to chew on. He smelled the beef and reluctantly not interested. Eko went into hiding again and then the bougainvillea started shaking. Hmm, she likes those two plants or the soil from the pot where she used to bury the bone. Weird dog! Then she came out with a piece of stick from the bougainvillea, on her mouth and I grabbed the small dry stick. I offered a yummy, delicious beef and you like those sticks, Eko? What's wrong with you? lol
Anyway, it's not long that I perceived what she meant. It's time to prune the plants. My bougainvillea needs a trim and time to cut those dry long sticks without leaves. Husband said he wants to cut half of the bougainvillea like he wants to make a bonsai out of its 6 ft. tall height. If I didn't cut the original measurement of that lively, lovely bougainvillea that plant would have been more than 30 ft. by now and maybe crawling the ceiling. My husband was disappointed of this plant because since me moved here at the apartment it didn't bloom flowers anymore. I told him once again that the plant needs breezy air and salty beach air. Bougainvillea is a tropical plant and needs lots of sunshine. A special plant that blooms abundantly and radiantly when the weather is hot and humid. Yeah, disappointing right? I hope and pray this bougainvillea will bloom this year. Hopefully...
