According to a customized book, begonvili, the best master Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı from our best story tellers, has brought the famous Halicarnassus Fisher, ta Büyükada, to Bodrum, which he could not imagine without him anymore.

Bougainvillea has many names like ornaments like its own: eleven months of flowers, rhododendron, bridal veil. Even in Cyprus, begonvil is known as "Cemile" which is more beautiful than the name of begonvil in my opinion, you will soon understand why I think so (!) ...

Whereas the bougainvillea is the French admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainvillea who discovered him in Brazil in 1768. But the fact is that the person who actually discovered the plant is the French botanist Philibert Commercon who took him to Brazil. Surely the name of a sickly, diseased French botanist could not be given to this beautiful flower while standing in a glorious admiral ...

This reconnaissance is actually an interesting story and a hero. Jeanne Baré, a botanist, both lover and assistant of the botanist Commercon, entered the men's crew's sack by sacrificing his hair as he boarded the nautical ship Etoile (Star). Undoubtedly the superstitious beliefs of the maritime sailors, Baré's reason to enter the men's sack, which is the first woman to travel the world with a ship. At that time, having women on the deck on long voyage trips was considered the greatest bad luck. If it were not for Baré, maybe Europe will meet begunville much later, and today's hybrid species will emerge much later. This is because of the wound on the leg of Commercon, he was able to leave the ship with the help of Baré and collect plant samples (!).

One of the important features of Begonvil is that it can not easily lose its color even when it is colored, which can also be used as cut flower. Another important feature of this tree disease and insects can not easily be sheltered. But it can still suffer from worms, snails and aphids. It is a plant which is suitable for indoor planting and bonsai construction, but it does not come to air or excessive air flow.

It does not show his flowers when he is overly watered. It grows slowly, but as you get older, it also accelerates. If your roots get air, it may suddenly dim. You need to give him a little water to give him plenty of flowers. It can easily multiply with semi-wood shoots, but its roots must never get air while moving. This must be removed from the place where the soil is soaked and covered by its roots. For this reason, it would be an appropriate decision not to buy foxtail or foxtail fodder.

The simplest formula for bougainvillea treatment is "plenty of light, frequent fertilizer and little water" ... This is a summary of this story, dear friends: if this spoiled beauty today adorns your garden, you owe it to a woman, Jeanne Baré.
