Charit

One of the most neglected plant from where it came from. It sat in a corner for over a year and nobody in the house of the owner knew that it existed. It was in the backyard along with overgrown plants overshadowing it.

It was only an accident that I've found it. I was looking for an empty pot to place an ornamental to bring home and there it was, sitting lonely and alone.

I told the owner, aunt of my wife, that I will take the plant with or without her permission. We'll it was just a joke and luckily she said I can take it. That's where I got the name, Aunt Charit.

It's a bougainvillea with very thin leaves of yellow green, so thin that the rachis is very visible, and we are still wondering what color of flowers it will have.
