Pink Bougainvillea
They're pretty. They're colourful. And they are very prickly. It is best to admire bougainvilleas from a distance as their thorns are solid and very sharp as anyone who has to prune them will tell you.
The Bougainvillea plant is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees. The flowers are actually very small and each cluster is surrounded by a variety of coloured bracts which include pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, yellow, and white. There are 18 species in the genus and are native to South America and Southern Argentina.
The vines grow from 3 to 40 feet tall and will easily take over other plants. They are also characterized by their spiky thorns which have a black, waxy substance on their tips. They are evergreen in climates which receive rainfall all year around and deciduous if there is a dry season. Bougainvillea Glabra are often referred to as “Paper flowers” because of the thin, papery texture of the bracts.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
