Good thought on the fertilizers! I'm more of a vegetable/herb gardener, so I don't have a ton of experience with flowers! This bougainvillea had gorgeous variegated leaves, so I definitely wouldn't want to skimp there!
And Canton wouldn't be a bad drive at all! I live straight up 20 on the other side of Jackson, so the drive would be easy. Yay!
Hey do you ever get on Pinterest?
