Trip to Turkey for bougainvillea

Sitting on a plane on my way to Turkey to join family out there. They are lucky enough to have a villa there in the hills that is literally surrounded by pink, yellow, orange and white bougainvillea wild flowers. The petals dry quickly out in the sun and we are able to send them home. Bougainvillea make lovely floaty confetti petals. When thrown up they float down like fairies. They look lovely just loose in baskets as they are not really suitable for cones and small organza bags as the petals are very large, similar size to larger rose petals.
