Harrii Bougainvellia

19 years ago

I have this varigated leafs Boogie which on rare occasions late in season would pop up a dark blue "Bloom". Almost 10 years I have it and give it a lot of sun on my patio. On one september day, contemplating on bringing in my plants for the fall, I noticed for the first time something blue near one of the nodes. It was the typical Boogie bloom. Unfortunately, I was going on vacation and had to bring it in to a south sunny window. After a week of vacation, it was no longer there and didn't bloom any more...although i've had success with other boogies that would continue to bloom through the fall and winter at that same south sunny window. The following spring, I decided to repot it and that seem to 'awakened' it some. A bloom came again but still in late summer...but it doesn't fill the plant like a boogie is known to do. Now this past spring i again repotted it and here it is in august and no sign of bloom. i fertilized it 15-30-15 at times and 20-20-20 alternately and it gets about 6 hours of direct sun. I wouldn't be suprised it may show some sign by september. Does anyone know why this Boogie is so fickled? I have a picture of it in bloom 2 years ago. Don't know if I could show it in this forum. You can see why I am obsessed in it blooming. Can I show it in this forum and if so, how? Thanks
