This past Summer in Sydney was a great time for admiring the colourful displays put on by the Bougainvilleas. These warm-climate plants have Bracts that come in many colours. Bracts are modified leaves which give the plants the colour, the actual flowers are in the middle of the Bracts, and are not very significant. The two main types of Bougainvilleas are the taller growing single-flowered varieties such as "Scarlet 'o' Hara" , and the smaller growing double-flowered varieties. Both types grow best in the full sun and can be trained over a trellis, fence or pergola to provide a screen or specimen plant. They are fast growing climbers, and benefit from regular watering in Summer. I took this photo of an Apricot-coloured plant in a local garden.

@ctrl-alt-nwo, That would be really beautiful flowers indeed plants. Bougainvilleas has color variations. My home garden also grow up little Bougainvilleas plants & flowers also. It's great response by you here. I added more information via internet.
Bougainvilleas are flowering machines. You can't beat them for an explosion of color. Here you'll find care & growing tips for bougainvillea. If you live in a temperate climate and want an (almost) year round floral fiesta, then bougainvillea is the plant for you. Depending on the variety, it can be grown on a trellis or over an arbor, against a building or fence, in containers, as a hedge or ground cover, in tree form, and as a bonsai. I’ve done many posts and videos on this plant. Here I’m straight up sharing care and growing tips for bougainvillea, a plant I have a lot of experience with.
Bougainvillea can grow anywhere from 1′ to 8′ to 30′, depending on the species or variety. There are actually quite a few dwarf bougainvilleas on the market now if you don’t want one the maintenance that goes along with one that grows to 25′. In the warmth and full sun that it loves, bougainvillea is fast growing.
The color of bougainvillea can change after you plant it. This has to do with the breeding. My bougainvilleas, all well established, will change color a bit as the season’s progress. When the temps are cooler, the color seems to be more intense. My “Rainbow Gold” has newer flowers which are orange and then they fade to pink.
Thank you for the information. Image found via google.

Congrats, you have been Awarded the Silly Sausage for your comment and it's great pics and info. Well done !!
Thanks very much again @ctrl-alt-nwo.
This genus was named in honor of the explorer and scientist, Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729 - 1811), who made the first French voyage around the world, and for whom the Papua New Guinean island is also named.
Known for their brilliant floral displays and ground-covering power, bougainvilleas originate from the tropics and subtropics of South America. Members of the fouro-clock (Nyctaginaceae) family, the 14 species in this genus are scrambling shrubs that can become vigorous climbers in favorable conditions resembling the climate of their native habitat.
If unsupported, these plants will remain compact or behave as ground covers, while if given support they will climb vigorously, using their sharp thorns as a means of attachment.
While the thin-textured, downy, tapering leaves and small, tubular, ivory to yellow flowers play a role in the overall attractive appearance of these plants, it is the brilliantly colored petal-like bracts that create its dramatic impact.
All species do well in warm to hot climates and some species will tolerate light frosts. For best results, plant bougainvilleas in a light well-drained soil in a sunny position. Although drought tolerant, they need plenty of moisture during the flowering season. Overfeeding will produce masses of foliage but very little in the way of colourful bracts. Propagate from cuttings taken in summer.

bougenvil is a very beautiful ornamental plant I really like this flower so much I collect this flower of various colors and almost every day bloom and even rarely no flowering, very beautiful flowers.
Bougainvillea in the garden offers green foliage year round and brilliant “blooms” in summer. Growing bougainvillea in gardens requires some effort, but many think that these tropical and subtropical woody vines are worth it. Read on for information about how to grow a bougainvillea.
Bougainvillea are thorny, evergreen summer bloomers, but their orange, yellow, crimson or purple flowers are actually modified leaves called bracts. The bracts surround the actual flowers that are tiny and white. To start growing bougainvillea in gardens, you’ll need to live somewhere warm; otherwise, container growing of bougainvillea is recommended. The plants thrive in USDA hardiness zone 10-11, and will also grow in zone 9 with adequate protection
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/bougainvillea/bougainvillea-garden-care.htm
When looking for a home for your bougainvillea, think about how you plan to train it. These are vigorous-growing plants that can quickly take over a wall or garden area, but can be trained and maintained to fit a desired setting. Bougainvillea can also be used in containers and trained as a shrub or sprawling groundcover.
Because of bougainvillea's woody habit and vigorous growth, these plants lend themselves very well to being manipulated and trained in a variety of ways. The most common, especially in tropical areas where plants are hardy, is to allow these plants to climb walls and trellises. This is the simplest way to display the wonderful blooms of bougainvillea.
They can also be used in hanging baskets with minimal care. Because these plants don't have tendrils, they do need some manipulating, but as a hanging basket plant, no training is needed. Bougainvillea also make fantastic topiaries. Since they are so fast growing, it is easy to create tall topiary plants with minimal effort. On a smaller scale, bougainvillea can make stunning bonsai specimens. This takes time over the course of many years, but with relentless pruning some unique bonsai can be made.

How to grow a bougainvillea vine is easy once you know the basics.
Gardeners caring for bougainvillea in the garden don’t need to worry much about water once the plants mature. Irrigate only when the plants start to wilt and the soil is dry. The vines do need food. Fertilize your bougainvillea every month in spring and early summer. You’ll want to use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer at half the normal dosage. Pruning is part of the work if you are caring for bougainvillea in the garden.

Bougainvillea is one of the most common and most recognizeable tropical ornamental plants. There are 14 recognized species, but the cultivated bougainvilleas are derived from three species and their hybrids.

The name bougainvillea is based on the scientific name for the genus, Bougainvillea. Admiral Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, Comte de Bougainville, was a French soldier and sailor. In 1766 the French government commissioned him to sail around the world, finding new territories for France. He took along a naturalist, Philibert Commerson and it was at the very beginning of the trip, in Rio de Janiero, that the first bougainvilleas known to western science were collected. Impressed by the bright bracts, Commerson named them for the admiral, as Bougainvillea.

Recently, the story of the discovery of bougainvillea has been revised. Commerson did go on the voyage and was the botanist. But his housekeeper and lover, Jeanne Baret (Baré) went along as Commerson's assistant. The French navy absolutely and explicitly prohibited women on naval vessels. Nevertheless, Baret disguised herself as a man and sailed with Commerson. The surviving journals of the expedition barely mention her, probably due to a mix of sexism and fear of the consequences of admitting that they knew the "no women!" rule was broken.

Bougainvillea is a hardy tropical vine that grows in areas where winter temperatures remain above 30 degrees F. (-1 C.). The plant usually produces three rounds of vibrant blooms in spring, summer and autumn. If you don’t have growing space or live in a suitable climate, you can plant bougainvillea in a pot. If you live in a chilly climate, bring potted bougainvillea plants indoors before the first frost.
Bougainvillea performs well in a relatively small container where its roots are slightly restricted. When the plant is large enough for repotting, move it to a container only one size larger. Use a regular potting soil without a high level of peat moss; too much peat retains moisture and may result in root rot. Any container used for growing bougainvillea must have at least one drainage hole. Install a trellis or support at planting time; installing one later may damage the roots.
ougainvillea is a heavy feeder and requires regular fertilization to produce blooms throughout the growing season. You can use a water-soluble fertilizer mixed at half strength every seven to 14 days, or apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring and midsummer. Bougainvillea blooms on new growth. This means you can prune the plant as needed to maintain the desired size. The ideal time to trim the plant is immediately following a flush of blooms.

The bougainvillea--also known as the "paper flower plant"--is a flowering perennial plant. The plant is native to South America and is named for a French explorer. There are many varieties of the bougainvillea, with blooms in a range of colors that include white, cream, pink, purple, orange, and bi-colored. Some popular varieties of the bougainvillea include California Gold, Texas Dawn, Jamaica White and Double Pink.
The bougainvillea is a vining plant that grows up to 30 feet tall. The plant can be pruned to be grown as a tree or shrub, or can be trained to vine up a trellis, pergola or arbor. The stems of the bougainvillea are covered in sharp thorns, and care should be taken when pruning.
The bougainvillea requires very little water. If it rains in your area once or twice a month, you will not need to supplement with additional hand watering. In arid locations, bougainvilleas need water weekly or bi-weekly through the spring and summer. During the fall, bougainvilleas need water only if there is no rain for a month.
Bougainvillea prefers soil that drains quickly and cannot tolerate sitting in wet soil. The bougainvillea's root system is delicate and rots when it is exposed to prolonged wetness. The plant grows best in loamy or sandy soil.
Bougainvillea is a strong, prolific grower and grows easily from cuttings. Cuttings can be green or woody growth. To grow a new bougainvillea from a cutting, place a cutting that is at least 6 inches long into moist (not wet) soil. To hasten growth, use rooting hormone powder on the cut end of the cutting before planting it in soil.
Bougainvilleas are quintessential tropical vines, known for their drought-tolerance and lavishly brilliant flowers. They originate from tropical South and Central America, where they’re called paper flowers. Bougainvilleas are rapid growers, flowering all year-round in the tropics and subtropics.
Vigorous, untrained cultivars can reach 30m, scrambling up and through other plants. We talk about the vibrantly coloured bougainvillea flowers but this isn’t quite right, botanically speaking. The flower itself is tiny, tubular and whitish and is produced in clusters of three, surrounded by the brilliantly coloured bracts.
Colours include pink, magenta, lavender, purple, red, orange, yellow or white. Some are two-toned and several varieties come with brightly variegated foliage. In mostdouble-flowered cultivars, the true flowers are replaced by even more floral bracts.
Bougainvilleas are trouble-free plants, robust and adaptable and they love warmth and sunshine. Traditionally grown over pergolas, their luminous colour can also be enjoyed in hanging baskets and containers, if growing the dwarf varieties. It’s just a matter of pruning them to shape two or three times a year. Bougainvilleas can be trained as bonsai and make bold house or patio plants, which is one way gardeners in frosty, temperate regions can enjoy their fiery colours.
SOURCE
Bougainvilleas need a bright sunny position, but protection from direct sunlight under glass and a minimum night temperature of 10°C (50°F). As large climbers they can be planted directly into a conservatory border or grown in large containers. These can be placed in the garden in summer but must be kept frost free in winter. Enrich border soil with well-rotted compost and a balanced granular fertiliser or controlled-release fertiliser such as Osmocote. Use loam-based compost like John Innes 3 for containers.
Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings taken with a heel in summer. Cuttings should root in 4-6 weeks or quicker with bottom heat of 15°C (50°F). Alternatively, take hardwood cuttings in deep pots in winter with bottom heat of 3-6°C (5-10°F) above the air temperature to encourage rooting. These late season cuttings may take three months to root. Layering in late winter and early spring is usually more effective and new plants will flower in 2-3 years.
They are generally disease free but may be attacked by whitefly, mealybug, aphid and red spider mite. Avoid leaf drop in winter by maintaining a minimum night temperature of 10°C (50°F) with the day temperature a few degrees higher.

@ctrl-alt-nwo sir....
Boganvillas flowers are very common flower in Sri Lanka...I'm really like this Boganvillas...
Bougainvillea are popular ornamental plants in most areas with warm climates.
Although it is frost-sensitive and hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 9b and 10, bougainvillea can be used as a houseplant or hanging basket in cooler climates. In the landscape, it makes an excellent hot season plant, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for warm climates year-round. Its high salt tolerance makes it a natural choice for colour in coastal regions. It can be pruned into a standard, but is also grown along fence lines, on walls, in containers and hanging baskets, and as a hedge or an accent plant. Its long arching thorny branches bear heart-shaped leaves and masses of papery bracts in white, pink, orange, purple, and burgundy. Many cultivars, including double-flowered and variegated, are available.
Wel done and perfect work sir...
Another wonderful and interesting flowers post by @ctrl-alt-nwo sir...
I have more different types of "Boganvillas" in my garden...
Bougainvillea is a very beautiful climbing Mediterranean shrub.
The maintenance and the size are gestures that durably improve the growth and flowering of the bougainvillea.
Family : Nyctaginaceae
Type : Climbing shrub
Exhibition : Sunny
Soil : rather light
Foliage : Persistent
Flowering period : May to November
@ctrl-alt-nwo sir...
Actually I'm really like Boganvillas flowers...
We can grow very easy boganvillas...and it is smart flower in our garden...
The growth rate of bougainvillea varies from slow to rapid, depending on the variety. They tend to flower all year round in equatorial regions. Elsewhere, they are seasonal, with bloom cycles typically four to six weeks. Bougainvillea grow best in dry soil, in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilisation; but they require little water once established, and in fact will not flourish if over-watered. They can be easily propagated via tip cuttings.
Bougainvillea is also a very attractive genus for Bonsai enthusiasts, due to their ease of training and their radiant flowering during the spring.[6] They can be kept as indoor houseplants in temperate regions and kept small by bonsai techniques.
Smart work sir...waiting ur next...
Cheers~~~
Evolution
Bougainvillea spectabilis is in the family Nyctaginaceae, in the order Caryophyllales. Closely related genera include Belemia and Phaeoptilum. Bougainvillea and Belemia are in the Bougainvilleeae tribe, while Phaeoptilum is in the Phaeoptilinae subtribe (Douglas and Manos 2007). Due to natural hybridization among species, there are 4 to 18 species recognized.
Bougainvillea spectabilis grows as a shrub or thorny, woody vine reaching upwards of 12 meters tall and 7 meters wide. The leaves are simple and alternate, oval in shape, tapering to a point. Leaf size ranges from 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm wide. The hermaphroditic flowers are small, tubular and white, typically in clusters of three, surrounded by three papery bracts. These bracts vary in color from magenta and purple to orange, white and yellow. The plant is evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, and deciduous where a dry season occurs.
Bougainvillea spectabilis can be found growing in its native range along the Atlantic coast of Brazil (GBIF 2012), although cultivation has spread the plant throughout tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Various Lepidoptera frequent the plant for its nectar, and thus provide pollination services (Wikipedia contributors 2012). When growing as a vine, bougainvillea uses its thorns to cling to and climb up trees.

Beautiful flowers, my friend! Vibrantly coloured bracts of Bougainvillea brighten warm greenhouses and conservatory borders during the summer. These tropical climbers are suitable for large containers placed in the garden during summer but must be kept frost-free in winter.
Cultivation notes
Bougainvilleas need a bright sunny position, but protection from direct sunlight under glass and a minimum night temperature of 10°C (50°F). As large climbers they can be planted directly into a conservatory border or grown in large containers. These can be placed in the garden in summer but must be kept frost free in winter. Enrich border soil with well-rotted compost and a balanced granular fertiliser or controlled-release fertiliser such as Osmocote. Use loam-based compost like John Innes 3 for containers.
Pruning and training
Bougainvilleas require a trellis or pillar for support and can be trained as a standard and spur-pruned to restrict size. They flower on the current seasons growth so pruning in late winter or early spring, just before growth begins.
Early in the season, bend and tie in young strong-growing laterals to check the vigour and stimulate bract formation
After the bracts have fallen cut this long growth back by half to encourage a second flush of bracts in the late summer
Plants should respond to hard pruning but old plants are better replaced
Propagation
Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings taken with a heel in summer. Cuttings should root in 4-6 weeks or quicker with bottom heat of 15°C (50°F). Alternatively, take hardwood cuttings in deep pots in winter with bottom heat of 3-6°C (5-10°F) above the air temperature to encourage rooting. These late season cuttings may take three months to root.
Layering in late winter and early spring is usually more effective and new plants will flower in 2-3 years. Thank you @ctrl-alt-nwo

oh wow those are some massive bushes, especially the first one. It must have taken years to get it there...
I think it's a tree with so many branches. Back in my hometown, we have one bougainvillea in the backyard with huge main trunk, maybe 4 to 5 inches in diameter and spread throughout the fence. After trimming , it looks like small tree. In late fall it turns some leaves in colorful red with little white flowers.

South America is the native home of bougainvillea plants, and in its natural tropical growing environment, it flowers all year.
Bougainvilleas are evergreen and grow well in warm to hot climates, although they can become dormant and lose their leaves in winter if it becomes too cold, and they can be damaged by frosts.
Bougainvilleas are a popular garden plant, due to their stunningly coloured bracts and their versatility in the garden.
The Bougainvillea is a very common, very thorny shub/ vine here in Brisbane, Australia.
It is known for is "showy flowers" and utilised to cover fences and arbour's.
The truth is that what most people think are the flowers are just modified leaves (Bracts are what they are referred to by botanists.)
Native to the central America areas, this specimen is in Brisbane, Australia.
If you look past the bracts you can see the true flower parts (stamens and anthers)
I would assume the plant evolved to have these modified leaves to attract insects and other animals to the pollen.
NOTE: If you want this plant to look neat and tidy keep the maintenance up!!!
It is a complete pain in the arse if it gets out of control 😉
Happy gardening,
I have here different colors of bougainvilleas. They were blooming beautifully! Yesterday, I went to a friend's house for a visit. It surprised me to see these bougainvilleas blooming all at once! It really envies me seeing them because I also have there flowers in my house but this time they're not flowering. I have constantly watered them but still no flowers bloomed. Perhaps it's not their time to bear flowers. I'm wishing for them to have some blooms because it also relaxes me. These flowers is one of my pastime whenever I have nothing to do. I really enjoyed taking care of them! **
Bougainvilleas are flowering machines. You can't beat them for an explosion of color. Here you'll find care & growing tips for bougainvillea. If you live in a temperate climate and want an (almost) year round floral fiesta, then bougainvillea is the plant for you.
Homeland bougainvillea is considered the coast of Brazil. The plant was first discovered in 1768 in Rio de Janeiro by French naturalist Dr. Philibert commerson the. Named after his dear friend, Admiral Louis-Antoine de Bouganville who commanded the ship La Bodos making a trip around the world in 1766-1769 years in which Commerson was a passenger.

my flowers of Bougainvillea that are in front of my house these are vines of shrubby size that measure from 1 to 12 m in height, and that grow in any terrain. They become entangled in other plants using their sharp spines that have their tips covered with a black waxy substance. They are evergreen plants in rainy areas throughout the year. when they are beautiful gift.
Love this! You've made something 'ordinary' into extra-ordinary!! 😊
Bougainvilleas are evergreen and grow well in warm to hot climates, although they can become dormant and lose their leaves in winter if it becomes too cold, and they can be damaged by frosts.
Bougenville is an ornamental flower that belongs to the Nyctaginaceae family. This flower has a small tree shape and is difficult to grow upright. The spatha or flower petal on this flower plant has a sizeable size that grows to savor all parts of the compounding flower before it blooms. Spata is thin and has a characteristic like paper, color flowers vary there is white, pink, yellow, and others.
The beauty of color and variant Bougenville, many people cultivate it, how to cultivate Bugenvil is not so difficult but it takes quite a long time.
Planting can be done by way of stem cuttings, planting with mixed media, and by means of shoots.
How to Trunk is to pick the seedling seedlings on an old plant, then cut the stem of the selected plants to the point and tapering at the ends.
Next stick it with a depth of about five centimeters. Should be done in the morning or evening to the growth of new shoots in plants will increase.
Plant with mixed media using soil mixed with sand. This flower plant is very fond of sandy planting media.
Planting by means of shoots will produce a variety of flower colors. This method is quite difficult because it requires expertise. This way of planting is done by connecting the young flower branches on old flowered paper plants that have different colors with young plants and then let the branch blend and grow perfectly through the main stem.
Pruning branches should be done for maximum plant growth. Perform fertilization by using organic fertilizer or inorganic fertilizer so the plants can grow fertile.
Controlling the disease by spraying insecticides, sanitizing, or in any other appropriate manner.
Thanks!

If you live in a temperate climate and want an (almost) year round floral fiesta, then bougainvillea is the plant for you. Depending on the variety, it can be grown on a trellis or over an arbor, against a building or fence, in containers, as a hedge or ground cover, in tree form, and as a bonsai.Bougainvillea can grow anywhere from 1′ to 8′ to 30′, depending on the species or variety.There are actually quite a few dwarf bougainvilleas on the market now if you don’t want one the maintenance that goes along with one that grows to 25′. In the warmth and full sun that it loves, bougainvillea is fast growing.
Choosing A Bougainvillea:
Planting:
Watering:
Fertilizing:
thanks to sharing for your good post.. my dear friend.. @ctrl-alt-nwo
They come in many colors, types & sizes. I’ve already done a post showing some of these options so be sure to check it out. Colors run the gamut from white all the way to purple. Double-flowered varieties are available too. You can get 1 with variegated foliage if you want some real pizazz in the garden. There are ground cover & dwarf forms if you don’t want a monster plant. And pay attention to height because some of the taller varieties don’t get as tall as others. No lack of choices regarding choosing a bougainvillea. !
Bougs are tough as can be but are big babies when it comes to their roots. They don’t like to have them disturbed. You’ll have much better luck if you leave them in the grow pot when planting. I cut the rim off & make slits in the sides & bottom of the pot. Dig the hole twice as wide as deep & add in a good amount of loam (you don’t need this if your soil drains freely) & organic compost. Water it in very deeply. If you want it to grow against a wall or fence, then angle it that way. For more info check this post on “how to plant bougainvillea to grow successfully: the one thing to know.“
2 words – water deeply. Bougainvillea likes to be watered well & have it drain out. After established, they’re drought tolerant. My Bougainvillea glabra didn’t get any water for 9 months last year & it’s lookin’ great. Overwatering = no color (not to mention rot!)
I’ve never fertilized mine & they bloom just how I want them to. There are lots of bougainvillea fertilizers on the market but the one that we recommended at the nursery was also for palms & hibiscus. I don’t do this either but they’d probably enjoy a good dose of organic compost or worm compost every year.

You can also use these plants as hanging plants or for covering as garden landscape. Growing to a height between 1 meter to 12 meters, these magnificent plants are definitely sight for sore eyes.
If you live in a temperate climate and want an (almost) year round floral fiesta, then bougainvillea is the plant for you. Depending on the variety, it can be grown on a trellis or over an arbor, against a building or fence, in containers, as a hedge or ground cover, in tree form, and as a bonsai
Bougainvillea can grow anywhere from 1′ to 8′ to 30′, depending on the species or variety. There are actually quite a few dwarf bougainvilleas on the market now if you don’t want one the maintenance that goes along with one that grows to 25′. In the warmth and full sun that it loves, bougainvillea is fast growing.
Exposure:
Bougainvillea needs at least 6 hours of full sun a day to flower profusely and look its best. This plant loves the heat too. No enough sun = not enough color. If you live where it’s borderline zones hardy , planting a bougainvillea against a warm wall will help.
Hardiness:
This plant is hardy from USDA zones 9b – 11. It doesn’t like to go below 30 degrees F and definitely not for a prolonged period of time. 1 or 2 random nights around freezing will be okay. Older, established bougainvilleas can withstand a freeze much better than newly planted ones. Many varieties will lose part or all of their leaves in climates with winters on the cooler end of the spectrum. Remember, this is one plant that loves sun and heat!
Water:
When it comes to watering, bougainvillea is pretty drought tolerant once established. It prefers a good, deep watering every 3-4 weeks rather than frequent shallow waterings. When establishing, be sure to give yours regular water. It’s subject to a few types of root rots so don’t over water. The soil should be well drained which will help prevent rot. I plan on doing a post and video on how to plant bougainvillea so I’ll go into the topic of soil more in depth there
Fertilizer:
I’ve never fertilized bougainvilleas, either when planting or as part of maintenance. I always feed them with compost, a good dose upon planting and a 3″ topping every late winter/early spring every year or 2. I used to work at a nursery in Berkeley where a grower recommended fertilizing them with a palm and hibiscus food. This flower food would be another option if you feel yours needs fertilizing to up the ante on the bloom. Be sure to follow the directions on the box – an application once or twice a year will be just fine.
Pests:
In my Santa Barbara garden, aphids could be an issue on the new growth of my bougainvilleas in early spring. I just sprayed them off with a gentle blast of the garden hose. The bougainvillea looper caterpillar has been an issue with my bougies in Arizona and California. They’re green, brown or greenish-yellow and very tiny – maybe 1″ long. They feed at night and chew mainly on the leaves. I just let them be and they eventually go away. Because my bougies drop a lot of their leaves in the winter, it’s not an issue for me.
A couple of weeks ago leafcutter bees were enjoying 1 of my bougainvilleas, which you’ll see in the video, but now they seem to have moved on. They move fast and are valuable pollinators for many plants. For that reason, I let them be also.
Transplanting:
I’m touching briefly on this subject here but I’ll tell you that it’s a crap shoot. Bougainvilleas don’t like to have their roots disturbed. I’ve never transplanted one and don’t recommend it. You’d be better off just buying a new one. If you try it, just be as careful as possible

A drink can be make from the flower bracts. The plant is widely grown as an ornamental from the warm temperate to the tropical zones, and is often grown in greenhouses in climates ...
It's not the flowers that make this plant so colourful, it's actually the magenta bracts. ... The bracts can be seen in all shades of pink and purple, and also red, yellow, white, salmon and orange. This is Grenada's national flower. Bougainvillea has been successfully grown outside in very sheltered areas in the UK

Very beautiful shrub. Bugenvilla - a neo-Brazilian. But her name is French - in honor of seafarer Louis Antoine de Bougainville, during the circumnavigation of which she was discovered by the naturalist Carnerson.
Bougainville refers to the family of nocturnal and comes from humid subtropical forests.
In the wild, there are about 14 species of bougainvillea common in the tropical regions of Central and South America, where they grow in the form of small trees or shrubs.
Domesticated bougainville is a charming creature, capable of turning its head with its French charm even to those who have never been engaged in floriculture.Bougainvillea is an evergreen curly bush, sometimes reaching 5 m in length, with spiny, abundantly branching shoots and oval, slightly pointed leaves.
In the southern climate it is decorated with high fences of houses, patios, gazebos and walking arched passages in parks and squares.

Thank you for the information and for the excellent communication.
uses of bougainvilliea :The flowers and stems are dried, boil in water and drink as tea. Bougainvillea leaves are used to cure variety of disorders like for diarrhea, and to reduce stomach acidity. It is used for cough and sore throat. Infusion of flowers used as treatment for low blood pressure.
Introduction:
The Bougainvillea is an immensely showy, floriferous and hardy plant. Virtually pest-free and disease resistant, it rewards its owner with an abundance of color and vitality when it is well looked after. The bougainvillea’s versatility is legendary. It can be coaxed into a small manageable pot plant or a sizeable tree, to spread itself vertically on a wall, or climb up a trellis and form a luscious crown or burst forth into graceful arches. It makes one of the best hedges, bushes, and curb-liners. And as for bonsai or topiary purposes, it has few equals, lending its complex branching to the pruning shears, which promote even more unique and graceful forms. It is probably true to say that without the bougainvillea, our roads, parks, and private gardens would be a lot less colorful that what we see today. Almost everywhere we go, its brilliant hues and cheerful bursts punctuate the lush green mantle that cloaks our tropical environment. Other flowering plants certainly pale in comparison.

A very beautiful plant @ctrl-alt-nwo and Bougainvilleas are passion. Passionately colorful, passionately vibrant, passionately floriferous - reflecting life in Spain. They remind me of flouncing flamenco dresses, frilled and ruffled, gorgeously swirling over walls and pergolas.
PLANTING BOUGAINVILLEAS
Bougainvilleas have a very delicate root system and stem to root connection so take great care when planting. Don't carry your plant by the stem and don't disturb that root ball. For the same reason, transplanting is difficult, so choose your position carefully, thinking many years ahead! Avoid planting near swimming pools - they are lovely but very messy plants; all those flowers have to fall sometime and somewhere - let it not be in your pool! Your plant will need at least 5 hours of sunshine daily to thrive; they prefer warm, sheltered situations though will survive a light frost when mature. In mild coastal climes, they often stay evergreen. The original purple, followed by the deeper colours, tend to be the hardiest. With maturity, they will become drought tolerant, flowering well on just an occasional soaking through the hot summer months. Never overwater - it weakens the plant, reduces flowering and can cause root rot. Feed with a general purpose fertiliser early in the growing season, changing to a high phosphorus and potassium feed in late spring/summer to promote strong root growth and good bract colour. Be aware that their colouring can vary according to growing conditions, position, soil and fertilising programme. Small, pale leaves often indicate an iron deficiency.
PRUNING YOUR BOUGAINVILLEAS
Pruning is not so difficult, though it is a rather thorny job! Don't be afraid of it - your bougainvillea flowers on new wood so it needs to be pruned to provoke lots of blossoming. Simply cut all the side shoots, leaving 3 or 4 leaf buds, back to the main framework. Prune during the coldest part of the year when your plant is bare so that the framework can be more easily seen. Minor cutting back of long unruly shoots can be carried out at any time.
Be inventive with this luscious, floriferous plant - it's not just a climber! It makes wonderful and colourful groundcover tumbling down a bank; a spectacular arching shrub; an unusual and pretty small tree or standard; and it will claw its way up and cascade over an old tree, and it can form a lovely pot plant too. If planting in a pot, don't over-pot - it tends to flower best when the roots reach the side of the pot and are somewhat cramped.

Bugambilia, which is the Spanish name for the thorny, showy vine more commonly called bougainvillea, produces wave after wave of color throughout the year, as long as its growing requirements are met. Bougainvillea can grow into a sizable shrubby vine if allowed to spread, reaching up a wall or forming an immense mound of greenery.
It does best if kept slightly rootbound, and it thrives as a container plant. You can prune your bougainvillea into a small shrub, train it as an espalliered specimen on a trellis or wire form, trim it into a topiary or bonsai, or prune and grow it as a small tree. There are many cultivars and varieties of bougainvillea, in every color except a true blue. A tropical plant native to South America, bougainvillea is hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture gardening zones 9 to 11, but it is easily grown outside that region by growing it in a container and bringing it indoors for the winter.
Instead of offering colorful flowers, bougainvillea . packs its punch through vibrant, modified leaves known as bracts. . It rewards restraint with vivid bracts exploding with bougainvillea color.
Get Light Right
Colorful bougainvillea depend on plentiful sun. Full sun and high light intensity brings out their finest color. Put bougainvillea in low light or shade and they may drop their bracts. Short day length prompts their heaviest, most colorful flowering.
Balance Soil and Nutrients
Bougainvillea does well on a slow, steady diet. Nitrogen and phosphorus fuel growth, but too much fertilizer limits blooms. High nitrogen, including nearby turf fertilizers, sends bougainvillea into growth spurts -- minus its blooms.
Prune Hard and Carefully
Left to its own devices, bougainvillea scrambles 40 feet or more, drenching structures in magnificent color. The flowers and their flashy bracts are borne on the new year's wood. After bougainvillea finishes blooming, prune the lateral branches back to two to three buds from the main stem. This encourages vigorous growth and future color.
Water Less and Less
In bougainvillea's native habitat, heavy flowering and colorful bracts come on the heels of dry seasons. The plant colors best when soil is kept dry. Water thoroughly when you water, but then allow the soil to dry to at least a finger's depth before you water again. Bougainvillea growers often withhold water to the point of wilting to trigger bract color and heavy flowering.
details
Bougainvillea the beautiful flower also referred as paper flower as the bracts are thin and papery. The flower increased the beauty of our residence. We often plant it in front of our home gate or on the wall that increasing our residence beauty.
source
Bougainvillea also known as different name in different countries like Santa Rita (Argentina), Primavera(Brazil), Drillingsblume(Germany), Buganvilla(Spain), Bouganvilla(India) etc. The flowers mainly found in Australia, South America, East Africa, Europe and India.

Really flowers is the best gift of God. Without flowers the nature have no beauty. Flowers is the beauty of nature. We should plant flowers everywhere like home, school, college, office everywhere and make the world to be a beautiful place.
They love to climb, mass and sometimes you can help them pretend they are trees. In fact, look closely and you’ll see their petals resemble distinctly veined leaves. Paper thin and delicate, nonetheless. Delicious colors that look wonderful against a stucco wall, or draping arbor columns on a patio. Putting or keeping them in the pots you bought is a good idea. They like getting root-bound.![received_2043736075864825.png]

A little caution should be exercised when planting them; they prefer the south side of the house and will need to be covered on cold nights, so be sure to plant enough to show, but not so many you’ll develop a chore you dread, come January and February’s colder evenings. Our expert gardening friends say these beauties tend to thrive with neglect. Just be sure they get lots of sun and they’ll reward you with vibrant colors during the winter months, when other flowers are sleeping, and they have the stage to themselves. There are lots of bougainvillea clubs and online forums around and if you’re new to this plant, you can find some ready help to get you started.
