Back home (in Michigan) I have two bougainvillea plants I got at the specialty nursery, and one manages to put out a few blooms in the summer and the other one is dormant (or dead :/).
So it always surprises me when I'm in tropical climes and they seem to be growing untended the way they did in my childhood. (Especially if it's in the U.S.--they do that in California, Hawaii, and Florida AFAIK.)
In Cabo, they seemed to be using bougainvillea as hedges and cropping them pretty closely, but nothing could keep these plants from showing off a little bit.

Oh, you're in Cabo! Cabo is so beautiful. So are those flowers. I am always amazed to see flowers growing so wild and so colourfully, having lived basically my whole life in Calgary. It gives a person great appreciation for local flora.
Pretty
I don't know if I've ever seen a health bougainvillea plant in my life. Upper midwest for LYFE!!
Nicole--Yes--it was blissful.
Steph--All those colors in a hedge. I'm jealous.
Engie--I legit LOL-ed. (And then wondered about my life choices... lol)
Nice photo.
