Flower of the Day: Bougainvillea

Posted on August 5, 2020 by Andrea R Huelsenbeck

Did you know that the actual flowers of the bougainvillea are the tiny white ones? The bright pink ones are bracts, or leaves, like the red bracts on poinsettias.

More FOTD.

  I saw my first purple bougainvillea when I went to that monastery. I didn’t even know there were purple ones.
