Bouganvilleas at home


Bouganvilleas at home!

Originally uploaded by Chiva Congelado

As you might know, I love having plants in my house, and bouganvilleas (ihmeköynnökset to my Finnish friends) are my favourites. They grow almost everywhere in Mexico and were abundant in the neighbourhood where I was raised, so they make me feel at home.

I’ve been trying to find them for a long, long time, so you can imagine my surprise when we finally got them when we were in London. They survived the flight back in our suitcases and are now enjoying the sun here in the outskirts of Helsinki. Whatever makes home more homey is welcome 😀
