Today the lawn mowers started early. There are lots of green spaces in our housing complex and there is a crew of gardeners to keep it looking nice. Watering every day is an absolute necessity. But these plants and grass require less than you think to stay green. They have adapted to the sandy soil and the unrelenting sun.
The Bougainvillea is a tropical plant that thrives in areas of low rainfall and intense heat. It actually requires at least 5 hours of direct sun every day. Needless to say, these would not do well in Nova Scotia but are very plentiful here (as they were in Kenya).
