I found these four bougainvillea plants in the 50 % off section at the local big box...going to replant today and grow them out as trainers for next spring....newbie tip.....always check the bargain bin for practice material....it may not be quality stuff but let's face it we are probably going to destroy it anyway

Not so newbie tip:
Good idea, but do it too often, or you may buy too many things that you could not resist for that price, but end up with a too large collection of hardly interesting plants.
That should probably not be your attitude when working with plants.we are probably going to destroy it anyway

Hm.. do you wnat an honest opinion? Or looking to hear what a great buy you made?
Sorry, but potential? Maybe if you let it grow. This is just a very youn plant with multiple branches. Nothing to get excited about, imho.

Never known you to be humble in your posts
I did not say I was going to cut it up today.
Potential-having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.
This plant has potential...all of them do I guess.
