During Winter Bougainvillea plants become quite dormant, the younger the plant, the less foliage it may retain, many will drop all of their leaves during winter. The loss of leaves is part of the Bougainvillea plants yearly cycle, it does not mean it is dead. However, is the plant is slow in returning from dormancy, and has yet to bud new shoots when surrounding Bougainvillea plants are doing so and budding, one way to check for life is to snap off a branch on the plant in question, if it is still alive the inner flesh should appear bright or pale green; a dead Bougainvillea plant will display a woody, dry interior if broken off, like a stick off the ground. Also, a Bougainvillea plant that comes close to dying over the period of a more harsh winter may only sprout new buds from the very bottom, and from the plants base, whereas more healthy Bougainvillea plants will bud from most of their branches.

What should you do with wilted blooms on a Tiger Lily plant?
Never 'pull' off dead blooms. Always take caution and 'pinch' them off. Usually with lilies, it is not absolutely necessary to pinch off dead blooms. Due to the weight of the blooms, they will fall off on their own (unlike other plants that have smaller blooms that don't necessarily fall off, yet die away). The only downside to this is that you will be required to pick up all the fallen debris. Removing dead blooms and leaves fosters growth of small buds and blossoms. If you have the time, go ahead and carefully remove the dead blooms.
