What’s a bougainvillea? ?
Wikipedia:
Bougainvillea (/?bu???n?v?li?/ or /?bo???n?v?li?/) is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees with flower-like spring leaves near its flowers. Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. They are native plants of South America, from Brazil west to Ecuador and south to southern Argentina (Chubut Province). Bougainvillea are also known as buganvilla (Spain), bugambilia (Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Philippines), bouganvilla (India), pokok bunga kertas (Indonesia, Malaysia), bougenville (Pakistan), Napoleón (Honduras), jahanamiya (Arab World), veranera (Colombia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama), trinitaria (Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic & Venezuela), Santa Rita (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay) or papelillo (northern Peru).
Sorry I was trying to add a pic and it failed.
tinywords tends to avoid web urls, photos, and other attachments. I think we can all search for the plant and find a lot of wonderful images. I recommend the "Ecosia" search engine as unlike other search engines they will help plant trees rather than decimate nature.

__ A long abandoned homestead now stands as the trellis; supporting vines are nature's strength, not forgotten.

old ruin –

I am also saddened when ruins are new, such as the Grenfall Tower atrocity in London where the local authorities and property company are escaping prosecution.
Strong poem!
