Bougainvillea

“Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.”
~Henry Beecher

Bougainvilleas are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates such as the Philippines. It is sometimes called the “paper flower” because the bracts are thin and papery.

    Yes, and in Malaysia, too! Bougainvilleas have a lot of other colors and some are grafted to have more than one color on the same plant.
