Bugambilia

A few years ago I bought a Bugambilia at Home Depot during the summer. Even though Bugambilias are very common in Mexico, I had never seen them around here. So I bought it, took it home, and put it in a pot. I knew I couldn't just plant it outside because  it would die during the winter. I placed it in the dining room, next to the window, hoping it would get enough sun. Year after year it did not die, but it did not thrive either. So multiple times Lionel told me to just get rid of it. But I did not want to give up on it. So this summer I finally put it outside, looking at it every few days to see if I could find a few more green leaves. 

It definitely took it a few weeks, but I am happy to see that it finally bloomed!
