GammaGlobulin Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hi Folks, a. A few days ago, the lawn guy came in and weed-whacked my purple flowers into oblivion, thinking they were weeds. b. So, now, I need to replace them. c. This time, I want to buy and install some purple flowers that will bloom most months of the year (if possible). d. Just checking the internet, I saw this photo of Bougainvillea, which I love, and have often read about in books written by authors such as James Michener.... e. Originally, I had some other type of purple flowers, much smaller, and much more dainty, which I enjoyed very much. I have no idea what they were, but they have been wiped out, completely, now. I miss them like I never expected that I would. f. I do not have a lot of space in the concrete planter in front of my sliding glass doors. The space I have in this permanent planter, which is part of the front yard, is about 8 meters by about 0.4 meters. This area does not receive direct sunlight in most months, I think. And, I will have no problem watering the plants, but there might not be too much rainfall since the area is overhung by the roof, slightly. g. I like the color of lavender. But, Bougainvillea is a bit too bright for my mood, most days. I like a purple which is less red, if you know what I mean, and more violet, I guess. h. Here in Thailand, almost anything grows quite easily if you water it. And, as far as I know, this planter is just sort of a concrete border to the soil lying underneath. ============= Well, anyway, what do you guys suggest for me? Personally, I do love flowers. And, not surprisingly, I seem to love flowers more, the more I age. Thank you. Gamma Please NOTE: When I was younger, anytime I heard the words Purple Flowers, I often thought of this tune....something about purple berries..... Not saying it is a particularly good song. Just saying that it is a song full of nostalgia....for some.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
