This is such a gorgeous colour! Under-utilised in my opinion…The cluster of silk flowers is one of my favourite handbags, made by glueing the flowers all over a cheap and nasty bag with hot glue. Very fast and easy, but it is amazing how many flowers you need! They have to be really squashed tightly together to look good.
Bougainvilleas (top left) are one of the few flowering plants that grow very well out west. They don’t seem to need much water and can get to be huge. I don’t like them much - thorny and invasive.
