On January 7, 1978, Glendora's first State Historical Land-mark was dedicated. Known as the Glendora Bougainvillea, the site contains the largest growth of Bougainvillea in the United States. Planted at the turn of the century, the vines cover the lower portion of twenty-five, ninety-foot palm trees, stretching for 600 feet along Bennett Avenue and 600 feet along Minnesota Avenue. The twelve-hundred foot growth borders two sides of an orange grove owned by Dr. and Mrs. L. J. Pittman. These magnificent vines have been viewed through the years by thousands of people from all over the U. S. and other countries. The beautiful magenta to purple-colored bracts are in evidence throughout the entire year, although the heaviest bloom is in December, May, June and July. During these months there are so many florescences that the green leaves can scarcely be seen. The trunks of these giants are 18 to 24 inches in diameter.
