This Bougainvillea has been growing over the Cotoneaster tree (Cotoneaster Frigidus) outside my flat for a few years. It's spectacular when in flower.

Bougainville is a vigorous creeper. This one climbed over its host tree and started the awnings of the neighbouring flats. The gardeners cut it right back, but it will recover.
