I'm wondering if you got this variety and are growing it now and, if so, your impressions of it. When I lived in south Texas, one of my neighbors had a neon magenta purple Bougainvillea that was head and shoulders more spectacular than any other. Unfortunately, I didn't inquire then as to its name (if it had one) but given its performance I thought it must be a cultivar. Now, I'm wanting to replicate the look and Elizabeth Agnus sounds like the closest possibility. I bought 3 rooted cuttings mid-summer and they are just coming into first bloom. I am happy to see that the color is correct. I'm wondering if it becomes covered solid with colored bracts as the one in Texas did.

Barbara Karst is ubiquitous here (central Florida.) While nice, I don't think it is THAT spectacular.
