    I have a potted Bogavallea and am looking for a Greenhouse facility in Victoria B.C to store the plant for the winter. Anyone know of such a facility with a contact number and name?

    If you mean "Bougainvillea" vine, then you really do not need a storage place away from your home if you have some place with sunlight in your home. The Bougainvillea will survive the winter. You can take it outside in the spring. We used cutting in the fall of 2006 inside the house. It rooted and grew inside. We took it outside in May and grew more on trellis but no flowers in 2007. We hope to see some flowers in the summer of 2008.

    The only problem is that the plant is on a trellis in a large pot and is too big to move inside the house. We stored it in our garage last winter but there was insufficient sunlight so it took a long time to leaf when we moved it outside in May. And it did not produce flowers at all.

    We really would like to find a greenhouse site for the winter storage in the Victoria area
