High-Five, Holly!! That was fast work. Good question Marie. They are Bougainvillea I believe. You usually don't see them trimmed as hedges because they have such beauty in the way they climb and cascade. Here's the largest Bougainvillea in the world in Nanning. They say it's 10 years old.

Beautiful Pic, Lara. I have a small point & shoot digital canon my daughter gave me shortly after I put away my film cameras and equipment. I was handy with the film cameras, not so much with the digital. I have started carrying the little digital ELPH with me when I go out, So far, I've seen no reason to use it.
I have bougainvillea all around the walls of mi Casa in Spain, as have most people... it looks beautiful...but OMG the mess it makes when it is windy or it rains hard...
