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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Source

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.
Source
Source
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.

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.

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.

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...

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

Bougainvillea is one of my favorite plants..We use for our house decoration and its color makes the door, window and room colorful...
I share with you that
Bougainvilleas don’t require frequent watering. Instead, they prefer to be kept on the dry side with a minimal amount of fertilizer. They’re considered a drought tolerant vine.
A good soaking once every ten to fourteen days should be sufficient as long as the temperatures are below ninety degrees. In your case, you can extend that period between waterings because of the extra water from the Azaleas.
However, I don’t believe moisture is your problem. Bougainvilleas like a sunny location where it receives six hours or more of direct sunlight per day, March through October for a normal blooming pattern. The true flower of a Bougainvillea is the structure located in the center of the showy/colorful leaves called a bract. It’s an imperfect flower, as it has no sepals or petals.

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 😉

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.

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.

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:
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. ! Planting:
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.“ Watering:
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!) Fertilizing:
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. thanks to sharing for your good post.. my dear friend.. @ctrl-alt-nwo

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Water a newly planted bougainvillea frequently to keep the soil moist. Once the plant is established, it blooms best if the soil is a little on the dry side. Water the plant until liquid drips through the drainage hole, then don’t water again until the potting mixture feels slightly dry. However, don’t allow the soil to become completely dry because a water-stressed plant won’t bloom. Water the plant immediately if it looks wilted.

Contingent upon the assortment, it can be developed on a trellis or over an arbor, against a building or fence, in compartments, as a support or ground cover, in tree shape, and as a bonsai.Bougainvillea can develop somewhere in the range of 1′ to 8′ to 30′, contingent upon the species or variety.There are very a couple of smaller person bougainvilleas available now on the off chance that you don't need one the upkeep that accompanies one that develops to 25′. In the glow and full sun that it adores, bougainvillea is quickly developing.
Bougainvillea:
They come in numerous hues, types and sizes. I've effectively completed a post demonstrating a portion of these alternatives so make sure to look at it. Hues run the array from white the distance to purple. Twofold blossomed assortments are accessible as well. You can get 1 with variegated foliage in the event that you need some genuine style in the garden. There are ground cover and diminutive person shapes on the off chance that you don't need a creature plant. Furthermore, focus on tallness since a portion of the taller assortments don't get as tall as others. No absence of decisions in regards to picking a bougainvillea.
Planting:
Bougs are intense as can be yet are huge children with regards to their underlying foundations. They don't prefer to have them irritated. You'll have much better fortunes on the off chance that you abandon them in the develop pot when planting. I cut the edge off and make openings in the sides and base of the pot. Burrow the gap twice as wide as profound and include a decent measure of topsoil (you needn't bother with this if your dirt depletes openly) and natural manure. Water it in profoundly. On the off chance that you need it to develop against a divider or fence, at that point edge it that way.

Bougainvillea (/ˌbuːɡɪnˈvɪliə/ or /ˌboʊɡɪnˈvɪliə/) is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees with flower-like spring leaves near its flowers. Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. Bougainvillea are also known as buganvilla (Spain), bugambilia (Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, Philippines), bouganvilla (India), pokok bunga kertas (Indonesia, Malaysia), bougenville (Pakistan), Napoleón (Honduras), jahanamiya (Arab World), veranera (Colombia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama), trinitaria (Colombia, Panama, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic & Venezuela), Santa Rita (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay), papelillo (Northern Peru), primavera (Brazil), or Drillingsblume (triplet flower, Germany).

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.
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.

Very population plant @ctrl-alt-nwo
History of Bougainvillea;
A native to coastal Brazil, the bougainvillea was discovered in 1768 in Rio de Janeiro by French naturalist Dr. Philibert Commerçon (also sometimes spelled Commerson). The plant is named after his close friend and ship’s admiral Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, who commanded the ship La Boudeuse that sailed around the world between 1766-1769, and in which Commerçon was a passenger.
Twenty years after Commerçon’s discovery, it was first published as ‘Buginvillea’ in Genera Plantarium by A.L. de Jusseau in 1789. The genus was subsequently split in several ways until it was finally corrected to ‘Bougainvillea’ in the Index Kewensis in the 1930s. Originally, B. spectabilis and B. glabra were hardly differentiated until the mid 1980s when botanists recognized them to be totally distinct species. In early 19th century, these two species were the first to be introduced into Europe, and soon, nurseries in France and England did a thriving trade providing specimens to Australia and other faraway countries. Meanwhile, Kew Gardens distributed plants it had propagated to British colonies throughout the world. Soon thereafter, an important event in the history of bougainvillea took place with the discovery of a crimson bougainvillea in Cartagena, a Spanish port in the Mediterranean, by Mrs. R.V. Butt. Originally thought to be a distinct species, it was named B. buttiana in her honour. However, it was later discovered to be a natural hybrid of a variety of B. glabra and possibly B. peruviana – a “local pink bougainvillea” from Peru. Natural hybrids were soon found to be common occurrences all over the world. For instance, around the 1930s, when the three species were grown together, many hybrid crosses were created almost spontaneously in East Africa, India, the Canary Islands, Australia, North America, and the Philippines

Repotting Bougainvillea
A bougainvillea blooms best when pot-bound so do not be tempted to re-pot unless you must. It is best to leave the plant in its original container until the roots have replaced all of the soil and you can’t keep the plant well watered. For example, it is not unusual to grow a bougainvillea in a 1 gallon pot for three or more years. When it is necessary to re-pot remember that a bougainvillea has a very delicate root system and a fragile root to stem connection. Handle bougainvillea with care. Root pruning is not recommended when re-potting bougainvillea – in fact, disturb the roots as little as possible because the plant might go into shock and take weeks to recover. Bougainvillea love to be pot-bound, so pot in the smallest container available for the purpose you desire. Re-pot into larger pot sizes gradually. For example, move a plant in a 6″ pot into a 9″ or 10″ pot. Several years later, you can then move up to a 14″ pot. The root system needs time to grow into each new pot.

Contingent upon the assortment, it can be developed on a trellis or over an arbor, against a building or fence, in compartments, as a support or ground cover, in tree shape, and as a bonsai
Bougainvillea can develop somewhere in the range of 1′ to 8′ to 30′, contingent upon the species or assortment. There are quite a couple of midget bougainvilleas available now on the off chance that you don't need one the upkeep that accompanies one that develops to 25′. In the glow and full sun that it cherishes, bougainvillea is quickly developing.
Presentation:
Bougainvillea needs no less than 6 hours of full sun a day to bloom abundantly and look awesome. This plant cherishes the warmth as well. No enough sun = insufficient shading. On the off chance that you live where it's marginal zones solid , planting a bougainvillea against a warm divider will help.
Solidness:
This plant is tough from USDA zones 9b – 11. It doesn't prefer to go beneath 30 degrees F and unquestionably not for a drawn out timeframe. 1 or 2 arbitrary evenings around solidifying will be alright. More established, built up bougainvilleas can withstand a stop much superior to recently planted ones. Numerous assortments will lose part or the majority of their leaves in atmospheres with winters on the cooler end of the range. Keep in mind, this is one plant that affections sun and warmth.
Water:
With regards to watering, bougainvillea is pretty dry season tolerant once settled. It favors a decent, profound watering each 3 a month as opposed to visit shallow waterings. While setting up, make sure to give yours general water. It's liable to a couple of kinds of root spoils so don't over water. The dirt ought to be very much depleted which will help avoid decay. I anticipate completing a post and video on the best way to plant bougainvillea.

The expression WOW, is what comes to mind when one sees them in full flower, the solid mass of colour is simply that spectacular. Originally from South America bougainvillea are sprawling climbers and shrubs with formidable thorns on mature plants.
They are suited to a somewhat arid, subtropical to tropical climate, being semi-hardy to frost when young. When in flower, their insignificant flowers are surrounded by bracts of blazing colour in bright purples, pinks, oranges and all the shades in between. Those with darker flowers are a as rule of thumb a little hardier than the pastel colours.
Unlike many tropical flowers that have a more structural look, bougainvillea branches by nature tend to be loose and romantic in style. The ruffled, multilayered texture is reminiscent of sweet peas; similarly, bougainvillea works well as a small accent to other flowers in an arrangement or on its own as a statement-making centerpiece.
The wild nature of the rambling vine makes bougainvillea ideal for brides who want to channel a more laid-back, romantic vibe for their bouquet and décor.

Growing Bougainvilleas
In 1768 when Admiral Louis de Bougainvillea began his long journey to the Pacific Ocean and discovered the vine that now bears his name, it was a botanical highlight of the voyage. Through the ensuing years, this Brazilian beauty has assumed its rightful place as one of the most popular, spectacular and beautiful tropical plants. The modern day hybrids of Bougainvillea spectabilis (B. Brasiliensis) and B. glabra are among the most beautiful of flowering vines. These tropical members of the Nyctaginaceae (Four-O'Clock) family, are very vigorous, evergreen, woody vines with spines. Although normally climbers, they can be trained to stay bushy as pot plants, hanging baskets, or as standard 3 or 4 feet high. They will bloom beautifully on branches on 18"-20" long. Keep all long shoots cut back to 18"-20" for best bloom. The vibrant color of this vine comes not from the small white tubular flowers, but from the 3 large paper-like bracts that surround each flower.
CULTURE
They grow readily from cuttings 4"-6" long, and in 4-6 weeks will develop good root systems when given bottom heat and mist. When well rooted in perlite/peat moss mix, they can be potted in small containers in a soilless mix such as Fison's Sunshine Mix No. 1 with added pine bark to give more drainage. Care should be exercised in transplanting since the fine roots often do not knit the soil together in a firm root ball. When repotting annually, slice off the outer 1"-2" of the root ball, and repot in the same size container. Bougainvillea need very bright light (2,500 fc) and do well under high shade or in full sun. These vines typically lose some leaves for a short time during the winter, but when light conditions are low, leaf loss may occur at any time. Under high light conditions, the colorful bracts will adorn the plant almost constantly and will persist for weeks. Plant in the ground in San Antonio is not recommended because of the winter damage which will result, and the fact that our soils are too rich and we receive too much rain. In the ground, the plant will stay vegetative and bloom little.
FERTILIZATION
These vines are heavy feeders and respond best to almost constant feeding with 1/2 strength water soluble fertilizer, e.g., Peter's 20-20-20, Excel 21-5-20, Miracle Grow or Rapid Grow. With high light and constant feeding, the plants will bloom at least 11 months of the year. Straight hibiscus food has also been a very successful fertilizer.
WATERING
These plants flower best under stress. Keep the plant slightly on the dry side, and allow the plant to become root bound.
INSECTS
Bougainvilleas are almost totally insect free. The occasional "cabbage looper" or aphid can be treated with the appropriate pesticide.

According to a customized book, begonvili, the best master Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçlı from our best story tellers, has brought the famous Halicarnassus Fisher, ta Büyükada, to Bodrum, which he could not imagine without him anymore.
Bougainvillea has many names like ornaments like its own: eleven months of flowers, rhododendron, bridal veil. Even in Cyprus, begonvil is known as "Cemile" which is more beautiful than the name of begonvil in my opinion, you will soon understand why I think so (!) ...
Whereas the bougainvillea is the French admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainvillea who discovered him in Brazil in 1768. But the fact is that the person who actually discovered the plant is the French botanist Philibert Commercon who took him to Brazil. Surely the name of a sickly, diseased French botanist could not be given to this beautiful flower while standing in a glorious admiral ...
This reconnaissance is actually an interesting story and a hero. Jeanne Baré, a botanist, both lover and assistant of the botanist Commercon, entered the men's crew's sack by sacrificing his hair as he boarded the nautical ship Etoile (Star). Undoubtedly the superstitious beliefs of the maritime sailors, Baré's reason to enter the men's sack, which is the first woman to travel the world with a ship. At that time, having women on the deck on long voyage trips was considered the greatest bad luck. If it were not for Baré, maybe Europe will meet begunville much later, and today's hybrid species will emerge much later. This is because of the wound on the leg of Commercon, he was able to leave the ship with the help of Baré and collect plant samples (!).
One of the important features of Begonvil is that it can not easily lose its color even when it is colored, which can also be used as cut flower. Another important feature of this tree disease and insects can not easily be sheltered. But it can still suffer from worms, snails and aphids. It is a plant which is suitable for indoor planting and bonsai construction, but it does not come to air or excessive air flow.
It does not show his flowers when he is overly watered. It grows slowly, but as you get older, it also accelerates. If your roots get air, it may suddenly dim. You need to give him a little water to give him plenty of flowers. It can easily multiply with semi-wood shoots, but its roots must never get air while moving. This must be removed from the place where the soil is soaked and covered by its roots. For this reason, it would be an appropriate decision not to buy foxtail or foxtail fodder.
The simplest formula for bougainvillea treatment is "plenty of light, frequent fertilizer and little water" ... This is a summary of this story, dear friends: if this spoiled beauty today adorns your garden, you owe it to a woman, Jeanne Baré.

Bougainvillea glabra grows up and over my garage and is a full riot of color. It gets full sun and enjoys all that reflected heat off the garage. My Bougainvillea Barbara Karst gets less sun and flowers towards the ends of the branches where the rays hit. You can see how I prune them very differently in the pics below – my trusty Felcos always get a good workout when this mission is my goal.
the bougainvillea worm which chews holes in the foliage. 1 fell out as I was shaking the plant & sweeping up – you can see how small they are. This 1 is green but they can be brown too. The proper term for what this tiny creature is: a Bougainvillea Looper Caterpillar.
I’ve mentioned this before but it’s worth a repeat. The beautiful magenta that you see is actually the leaves which have turned color. The tiny white centers are actually the flowers – the hummingbirds & butterflies adore them!
I do love my bougainvilleas and now that the days have shortened and the evenings have cooled, their growth will show down.

Here’s a bit of interesting trivia about this alluring woody vine/shrub. It was named for the French explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his voyage of circumnavigation when the exploration team docked in South America in 1768. Since then, these splendid (but thorny!) flowering plants have become ornamental favorites (with more than 300 varieties now available) in frost-free climates around the globe. I have even seen the for sale at a nursery in Fairfield, Connecticut – definitely a conservatory plant there! They are not only used as vines but also as ground covers, in containers, on pergolas, on fences and walls and as hedges (which puzzles me because they will loose their color if pruned too severely).
Like the Poinsettia, the bracts (a leaf-like part of the plant) and not the flower (which is an inconspicuous white or yellow little bloom at the center of the more showy bract) are actually what give them their gorgeous hue. You can choose between red, purple, yellow, orange, pink or white blossoms. Most varieties have single bracts, but a few have doubles. There are also several varieties with variegated foliage. One of our favorites, the “Torch Glow” is like no other – the bracts are all at the end of the stems, and when they bloom, they glow like tiki torches.
Remember, they are not clinging vines, so they need support and attachment. One of ours is growing across the broad doorway of one of our buildings thanks to a well placed metal trellis. You can use hooks, ties – you name it. Just keep helping them along or they’ll surprise you and run wild!
The blossoms may be delicate (the bracts, not the flower, are actually the source of the color) but the thorns are fierce, so exercise care (wear gloves) when you are pruning.

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.
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 (see zones below), 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!
Flowering:
I’m saving the best for last! These flowering machines will bloom year round in warm climates. In a climate where the winters are cool, they’ll bloom for 9-10 months. The tiny white centers are actually the flowers and the bracts (these are actually colored leaves) are what give us those big shows of color. Bougainvilleas put out a big explosion of color, drop their bracts and then flower again.
Bougainvilleas take a little maintenance, mainly in the forms of pruning and the sweeping, but in my book are well worth it for their big shows of color. Carmen Miranda would approve! Are you a fan of bougainvilleas too???

Excellent communication and just now on the bridges, roads and squares of the city of Nanning / Guangxi-Zhuang AR, South China / in the last days blossomed bougainvillea.
Liana with large spines, a bush with curly, clinging shoots or even a tree? Botany themselves still can not come to a consensus. Although, however, what's the difference? The main thing is that the bougainvillea shoots, namely this amazingly beautiful plant, are able to climb up to a multimeter height, fancifully braiding the support or walls of buildings, balconies or arches and literally hide them behind a colorful carpet. "Paper flower" - so called bougainvillea flower growers for elegant, brightly colored leaves-bracts, really resembling a little crumpled paper. It's really very beautiful.

How to Grow Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea is a tropical, shrub-like vine that bursts forth with colorful flowers for 11 months of the year if it's planted in the right climate. To grow bougainvillea, plant it in full sun, slightly acidic and well-drained soil, and a relatively hot and dry climate. Continue caring for your bougainvillea plant by watering sparingly, fertilizing every few months, pruning at the end of the season, and training it the climb a nearby wall or trellis. When cared for properly, this beautiful plant should return each year.
Decide whether to plant in the ground or in a pot. Bougainvillea thrives in places that are hot and relatively dry. If you want to keep bougainvillea outdoors all year long, it's best to be in hardiness zone 9 or higher. If you're in a colder, wetter zone, you can still grow bougainvillea if you plant it in a pot and bring it indoors for the winter.

Bougainvillea:
Woody climber with stiff curved thorns. Leaves bright green, alternately arranged along stem. Flowers inconspicuous, floral tube (perianth) white to yellow. Flower stalks (inflorescences) almost encaged by conspicuous papery magenta-scarlet bracts. Generally inflorescences consist of three flowers surrounded by three or six bracts. Pollinated by bees.
It’s not the flowers that make this plant so colourful, it’s actually the magenta bracts. The flowers are just tiny and white. Have a closer look! 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 .
Native to the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Central and South America but now cultivated in warm climes the world over. Bougainvillea requires a fair amount of water and high-fertility soil.

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.
Many of today's bougainvillea are the result of interbreeding among only three out of the eighteen South American species recognised by botanists. Currently, there are over 300 varieties of bougainvillea around the world. Because many of the hybrids have been crossed over several generations, it is difficult to identify their respective origins. Natural mutations seem to occur spontaneously throughout the world; wherever large numbers of plants are being produced, bud-sports will occur. This had led to multiple names for the same cultivar (or variety) and has added to the confusion over the names of bougainvillea cultivars.
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.

Bougainvilleas are very elegant plants with magnificent flowers. These plants are also very common in my country Pakistan. Parks, schools, colleges and other public spaces are incomplete without this beautiful plant.
I have always thought that the bracts are real flowers but thanks to your blog now I can identify the real flowers.

Bougainvilleas are scattered throughout the warmest parts of the world—like the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, India, Mexico, Australia and the southern United States and more—but the flowers are actually native to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
They were first found there in 1768 by Philibert Commerçon, a French explorer and naturalist. Commerçon named the flowers after his good friend Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, the French admiral with whom Commerçon sailed around the world from 1766 to 1769. It wasn’t until the early 19th century that the bougainvillea was brought to Europe.
The bougainvillea plant is a thorny vine that can reach anywhere from 3-39 feet in height. In areas that lie closer to the equator, bougainvilleas bloom all year long. They produce tiny white flowers that are surrounded by waxy, brightly colored leaves called bracts. So—believe it or not—those breathtaking shades of pink, purple, red, orange and yellow that you typically see on the bougainvillea aren’t actually flowers; they’re leaves!
If you’re looking to grow them at home, keep in mind that bougainvilleas need dry soil, lots of sun and regular fertilization. Other than that, these flowers are a gardener’s dream: They don’t need a lot of water and they’re naturally resistant to pests and disease. When it comes to landscape design, it’s also one of the most versatile flowers: Depending on your preference, you can either prune it into a small topiary, shape it into a medium-sized bush or train it to sprawl over fences, walls, trellises and more. No matter how you decorate your yard with it, the bougainvillea and its explosive color will turn your home into a tropical paradise.

Begonvil is an ornamental tree that grows in the form of a dwarf tree in the form of an ivy that can climb to a height of 10-15 meters, or in the case of a weaker flower pot such as a flower pot. It is a Mediterranean plant that grows quickly and is loved by its blooming flowers. The mainland is the central and northern tropical parts of the South American continent. Begonvil adapts very well to the Mediterranean coast because its rapid growth is at temperatures between 23 - 35 ° C and it is resistant to thirst.
They are usually pink, lilac purple, and rarely in red, white, yellow colors, and they have differentiated leaves in the form of flowers. Even when the flowers are thought of as flowers, when they dry in their branches, they have these flower petals that continue to maintain their color for some time.
Reproduction with steel is not easy, but it is not impossible on the island. The soil to be rooted is at least semi-organic so it is not recommended just for sand, just perlite for bougainville rooting.
When the air begins to warm up in the spring, it is about 10 cm. Cut out a very young but mature branch. Remove the lower leaves, just keep two or three sheets on top. Plant the water very well, very airy, not too wet. But it must be moist enough, because you will not. After suturing, you need to find a sealed container or put a nylon bag over it. It should not be exposed to the burning sun. Open and ventilate every two to three days, if there is too much humidity on the top surface of the soil, moisten it thoroughly with water, so continue to maintain. It takes 6 - 8 weeks to root. Do not keep it closed after rooting, slowly adjust to the sun.
If you want your bougainvil's entire house to be wrapped in a short time, you can apply two different knots at the following times to ensure a strong growth.
1- At the beginning of the winter, cut all the branches only at the ends. The resulting nutrient / energy in the branches will be pulled back to the main body, the main body and the roots. This will ensure that the spring develops with a violent explosion.
2- Once you have done the above, you should do this as well. At places where frost is not seen at the end of winter, where there is a slight frost, do a strong pruning at the beginning of spring. Thus the air grows strongly when warmed up and shows a severe growth after a few weeks.
Begonvalli we grow in the pot is enough to feed once when new leaves develop in the spring and once again after two months. The food must be a suitable food.
The more healthy grows of the grown in the garden, the more healthy way to feed should be preferred. At the beginning of each spring, the soil should be drained, the soil must be thrown and replaced with good garden soil and burnt cattle grains + pumice stone mixture.

They are usually perfect vines of many years. It has a wide growing area from northern California to Florida. They have very flashy developments and flower formations. These are vegetation originated from 12-15 m tall, very dense and heavily growing plants. There are sinking spikes on the bodies. Brightly colored flowers open up in abundance compared to the seasons.

Bougainvillea Ecological Requirements
The plants are susceptible to cold and frost. Mediterranean and Aegean coasts in our country and in Istanbul can be grown outside in temperate places like Islands. In other areas, we must raise the cap and get in winter. It can easily reach any soil that can get plenty of sunlight. They like moist, well-drained, fertile garden soil. It is resistant to a degree of salt. It should be fertilized every two weeks during the development period.
Use of Bougainvillea in the Landscape
They can be used in many places such as floor covering, terrace turning, fencing, arbor formation. In addition to creating brilliant color sizes in landscape, they are also used to shade fences and walls and to cover sunny places.
They grow very rough. If they are supported, they quickly surround the house with strong branches. Growth situations, forms, flower colors differ by species.
source
Several species are in the form of shrubs used as floor coverings. They need to be planted in sufficiently large areas, taking into account their rapid growth. Otherwise, frequent pruning is necessary.

CARE
If you have taken in for your balcony, pay attention to this because you usually need big flower pots. Also, since it is very sensitive, remove the root system without moving it while you grow the pot, remove it as a whole without shaking it with your dry soil and plant a new pot. Even if you do not like the sun very much, if you plan to balkonize, be careful to keep your pots in the shade, cool.
Bougainvillea Raspberry Ice
It's not much of a winter cold. The endurance is about -1 ° C, but it can last for a few hours at cold temperatures of -3, -4 ° C after it gets used and is strong. Winter does not grow in horticultural areas, but it grows at home in the pot. After preserving for two years in places where winter is not cold like Istanbul, there is no need to protect it, and the plant protects its durability. Front facades are not suitable for northern winds.
The branches of the branches that go on and on are going to have to be torn down so that they flow up so much that branches come out in plenty of branches. The blooming is in the new side dallows, so it should always be done regularly. Begonvil plant is grown with a pleasant appearance of flowers. There are two color varieties such as pink, white, purple and tones, orange, and pink.
SOIL TYPE
When we grow in the pot, we must use quality garden soil, 1/4 pumice stone and burnt cattle.
You can change the pot once every 1 or 2 years when the roots are well in the pot. If the roots are not covered well, the bougainvillea may not bloom much, and if the bouquet grows well, the bloom is more frequent if it remains in the permanent pot.

Care & growing tips for Bougainvillea:
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 (see zones below), 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. Another result of too much water – more green growth and less flowers. No thank you, flowers please.

This is what bougainvillea trained to grow as a hedge looks like.
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

Bougainvilleas :-
When you mention Bougainvilleas most gardeners conjure an image of a climber that goes up the fence, over the shed and disappears. But there are many compact varieties that are suited to smaller gardens and produce abundant crops of flowers for which the genus is renowned.
They're South American in origin and they were named in honour of the French explorer, Louis Antoine de Bougainville. Just three species B.peruviana, B.glabra and B.spectabilis are the parents of the varieties we enjoy today.
An interesting fact about Bougainvillea that many people do not know is that their flowers aren’t what you think they are. In fact, they aren’t flowers at all. The bright pink petals are actually called ‘brachts’.
Bougainvillea are very tough plants, except when you first plant them. Their roots don’t initially transplant well, especially when disturbed. So take extra precautions when planting so that you disturb the roots as little as possible. They grow quickly and once established, they can take severe pruning and will grow back quickly.
One of the interesting things about bougainvilleas is their flexibility when growing in the garden. They can be trained in many different ways including as prostrate bougainvilleas.

Bougainvilleas:
Bougainvilleas are a woody vine from the family Nyctaginaceae, which is the family of Four O’Clock plants. Bougainvilleas are also known as Napoleón, veranera, trinitaria, Santa Rita and papelillo.
South America is the native home of bougainvillea plants, and in its natural tropical growing environment, it flowers all year. Bougainvilleas grow 1-12 metres (3 to 39 feet) in height depending on the species, and can be grown in pots, as a bonsai, in hanging baskets, along walls, over trellises, as a hedge and other places in the garden.
Bougainvilleas were first recorded by the Europeans, by French botanist Philibert Commerçon, in the 1760s. The bougainvillea was named by Commerçon, after the French admiral, Loui-Antoine de Bougainville, who was an explorer, and whom Commerçon had joined for an expedition around the world.
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. Bougainvillea flowers are generally white or cream coloured, and are sometimes overlooked, as the papery bracts surrounding them easily distract with their vibrant colours of pink, white, orange, purple or burgundy.
Bougainvilleas need good drainage, are very hardy once established, can tolerate salty environments, and are not usually attacked by pests. Bougainvilleas are a popular garden plant, due to their stunningly coloured bracts and their versatility in the garden.

Bougainvillea is a variety of prickly decorative vines, shrubs, and trees with bloom like spring leaves close to its blossoms. Diverse creators acknowledge in the vicinity of four and 18 species in the sort. Bougainvillea are otherwise called buganvilla (Spain), bugambilia, bouganvilla , pokok bunga kertas, bougenville, Napoleón , jahanamiya, veranera, trinitaria, Santa Rita , papelillo primavera or Drillingsblume.
History
The principal European to portray these plants was Philibert Commerçon, a botanist going with French Navy chief naval officer and voyager Louis Antoine de Bougainville amid his voyage of circumnavigation of the Earth, and first distributed for him by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu in 1789. It is conceivable that the primary European to watch these plants was Jeanne Baré, Commerçon's darling and partner who was a specialist in botany.Cultivation and employments

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.
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 (see zones below), planting a bougainvillea against a warm wall will help.

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.
Water a newly planted bougainvillea frequently to keep the soil moist. Once the plant is established, it blooms best if the soil is a little on the dry side. Water the plant until liquid drips through the drainage hole, then don’t water again until the potting mixture feels slightly dry. However, don’t allow the soil to become completely dry because a water-stressed plant won’t bloom.
Water the plant immediately if it looks wilted. Bougainvillea 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.

Bougainvilleas come in many colors, types & sizes. 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.
Bougainvilleas are very tough & very versatile. Use them as a vine, ground cover, hedge or tree. On arbors, trellis’, fences, buildings & walls. In containers & hanging baskets. I could add topiary or bonsai because here in Santa Barbara I’ve seen it pruned into the shapes of a large basket & swan. Now that’s an Edward Scissorhands at it’s finest!

Bougainvillea, (genus Bougainvillea), genus of about 18 species of shrubs, vines, or small trees, belonging to the four-o’clock family (Nyctaginaceae), native to South America. Many species are thorny. Only the woody vines have attained wide popularity; several species have produced very showy cultivated varieties, which are often grown indoors and in conservatories.
The inconspicuous flowers are surrounded by brightly coloured papery bracts, for which one species, B. glabra, from Brazil, is called paperflower; the bracts are purple or magenta to lighter tints in certain varieties.
The stem of B. glabra may be 20 to 30 metres (about 60 to 100 feet) long in warm climates, and the plant is in flower throughout most of the year. The stem of B. spectabilis is covered with many short hairs, and the flowers are relatively short-lived.
The combination of bract plus inconspicuous flower itself resembles a flower with conspicuous petals. B. peruviana, from Colombia to Peru, has rose to magenta bracts. B. × buttiana, a probable hybrid of B. glabra and B. peruviana, has given rise to varieties having lemon yellow (“Golden Glow”), orange (“Louis Wathen”), and crimson (“Mrs. Butt”) bracts. Bougainvilleas are hardy in warm climates.

Lots of colors, sizes, shapes, and forms make Bougainvilleas a very common landscape plant. They need at least 6 hours of sun a day to produce all that color we love. Well, drained soil, they’re not too fussy about soil type but it must drain freely. A mixture of loam & organic compost worked into the native soil is what they like.
They come in many colors, types & sizes. Colors run the gamut from white all the way to purple. Bougainvillea likes to be watered well & have it drain out. After established, they’re drought tolerant. They need pruning and trimming as they’re very vigorous growers. However, you don’t want to prune them if there’s any danger of frost on the horizon. The flowering cycles tend to run every 2 months. Be sure to wear gloves since the majority of bougs have long thorns. Blood has been shed!
Bougainvilleas are very tough & very versatile. Use them as a vine, ground cover, hedge or tree. On arbors, trellis’, fences, buildings & walls. In containers, hanging baskets and topiary or bonsai.

HomePlantsPlants by nameA – DBougainvillea
Nicknamed the ‘paper flower’ due to its thin and papery bracts, the Bougainvillea is a type of semi-evergreen creeper known for its bright blooms. The name is pronounced, boo-gun-vil-ee-uh.
Description
The Bougainvillea’s papery bracts tend to come in threes and in colours such as red and pink. The leaves of the Bougainvillea are heart-shaped, whilst the plant often gains a twisted trunk as it grows older. Initially ragged, the Bougainvillea trunk becomes thicker with age.
Habitat
The Bougainvillea in the wild is a common denizen of the Amazon rainforest in countries such as Brazil, where it lives amongst thick vegetation and in subtropical or tropical conditions. The Bougainvillea thrives in areas where the trees are close together and the plant can use these to access the sunlight, but is hampered when it cannot adequately drain water, such as in swamps.
Availability
Bougainvilleas can grow as long as they can reach the sunlight. A large amount of sunlight is fine as is a semi-shaded area, with the bougainvillea twisting in the direction of the sun as it grows. The Bougainvillea requires fertile soil to thrive. The growing medium of a Bougainvillea should be moist but also drained well as the plant does not like overly watered conditions.
Species
A large number of Bougainvillea species exist, with as many as 300, including crossbreeds. These include the Barbara Karst, with its neon pink or red bracts, the Bougainvillea peruviana with its rose bracts and the Elizabeth Angus, which has purple bracts.
Care Tips
During the summer, Bougainvilleas need to be out in the sun, with regular watering and misting if the weather is sunny. During the autumn, these plants can be brought in again and should receive little watering after the foliage drop. A Bougainvillea should be handled carefully, especially around its roots; activities such as pruning should be carried out only occasionally to avoid disturbing the root system

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.
