Bougainvillea, named after the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville, belongs to the Nyctaginaceae family. Native to South America, particularly Brazil, this flowering plant has found its way into gardens and landscapes around the world, gracing warm climates with its breathtaking displays. While often mistaken for petals, Bougainvillea's colorful structures are actually modified leaves called bracts that surround inconspicuous, small white flowers.
One of the most striking features of Bougainvillea is its diverse and vivid color palette. From fiery reds and pinks to soothing purples and whites, these blooms create a visual symphony that captivates onlookers. The intensity of their colors is not only a delight for the eyes but also a clever adaptation, as the bracts serve to attract pollinators to the tiny, less conspicuous flowers within.
