There are some people who say that it is not good to plant bougainvillea in the garden because it is a prickly plant. On the contrary, some Feng Shui masters say that the presence of this plant is good for generational issues as well as getting rid of some figurative thorn in ones environment, e.g. bothersome neighbours. If you want to attract wealth, the experts recommend planting red and purple bougainvilleas.
