Description
This beautiful Bougainvillaea is one of my favourite colours, they also come in peach,purple and yellow. The pink colour always looks fabulous against a white wall and of course the amazing blue sky we get here in Spain.
Bougainvillea plants are woody vines, although they often behave more like shrubs. The foliage of these tropical flowers is usually evergreen in warm climates, but leaves will sometimes drop if watering has been insufficient.
The name derives from Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811), a French navigator. A botanist sailing with Bougainville discovered bougainvillea plants when their ship put in along the coast of Brazil. I suppose the name of his superior officer was deemed as good a name as any by which to call the vine.
