Floral nostalgia in Pondicherry

My favorite flower
When I was a child, my father tried, with some limited success, to grow plants from his childhood in India. And so it was that bougainvillea became one of my favorite flowers. We had a small potted plant with deep red leaves, but in India (and many other semi-tropical climates) they grow in many shades and as big as small trees.
The above comes from a warm street in Pondicherry.
