In the article we stated: “Don’t expect your bougainvillea to flower indoors.”
That statement prompted a reply from one of our readers in Canada. Here is what she said.
Canada: “Hi – I was just reading your article on bougainvillas – I live in Canada and can assure you, my bougainvillas bloom indoors ALL the time! No problem – easy to care for and beautiful! I think you should clarify your article somewhat… indoors is not a problem!”
