bougainvillea
Thorny flowering vine
Bougainvillea is a tropical climbing plant known for its vibrant, papery bracts in shades of pink, purple, red, orange, or white.
The colorful parts are actually modified leaves surrounding tiny white flowers.
Native to South America, bougainvillea thrives in warm climates and is commonly grown on walls, trellises, and fences: The bougainvillea cascaded over the courtyard wall.
