bougainvilleas
Bright papery blooms
Bougainvilleas is the plural of bougainvillea, a tropical vine known for its vibrant, papery bracts in shades of magenta, purple, orange, and red.
The colorful parts are not petals but modified leaves surrounding tiny white flowers.
Bougainvilleas thrive in warm climates and are common in Mediterranean and subtropical landscapes: The bougainvilleas cascading over the courtyard wall were electric pink.
