Barb McCord, horticultural therapist at Tri-Valley Developmental Services, nurtures a bougainvillea in the greenhouse on the campus of the facility. The plant was from a start, that was in her parents greenhouse decades ago. Bougainvillea are a member of the four-o'clock family of ornamental tropical American woody vines and shrubs, according to Webster's dictionary. The colorful plant is in sharp contrast to the colorless Kansas landscape just outside the greenhouse.
