Bougainvillea, mythical favorite home of fairies and gnomes. This flower is not only pretty to look at, but also powerful in magical healing. Used by many to release genetic and family emotional stress, this plant can be used to free you from inherited disease, both physical and emotional.

In Feng Shui, a bougainvillea plant releases overpowering influences from our ancestors when those influences become negative or too strong.

This shot was my fourth entry to the EBSQ “Flower of the Month (FOTM) - Bougainvillea” Show in July, 2008.

This shot was my second entry to the Simon Sez Floral Competition. This was the eighth weekly themed Simon Sez competition in the EBSQ forums and ran the week of 10/13/2008-10/19/2008 and was Juried by EBSQ Artist Lisa Miller.
