Bougainvillea!
An out of town friend would mention them. Didn't see them myself till I visited Puerto Rico.

As we old cyclists say.
We are getting in some miles before a bike and boat cruise in early October.

I get in about 2k to 2.4 know miles per year. Not having a car and being in a rideable city helps. It is good your are getting out on the bike.
