Hello @ecencysupport community, happy to be able to participate in this week's contest, my favorite flower is the "trinitaria". I love this plant because it is super easy to maintain, it grows immensely if planted in the ground and produces flowers of an immense variety of warm colors. They are my favorites to decorate the garden, they do not require great care, they withstand the sun well, wonderful.
Currently I do not have large trinitarias in the yard of the house due to my grandson, great-grandson and the cats, since this one is very beautiful, but it has huge thorns!
The genus Bougainvillea, popularly known as veranera, trinitaria, bougainvillea, bougainvillea or bugambilia, is a genus of the family Nyctaginaceae, with 18 accepted species of the 35 described. It is native to the humid tropical forests of South America, mainly those located in areas of Brazil, Peru and northern Argentina and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions.
This plant receives extensive traditional medicinal use in the central and southern states of Mexican territory, mainly in cases of respiratory infections such as cough, asthma, bronchitis and flu. For its treatment, the flowers or bracts are used, as well as its preparation which is administered orally. It is claimed that bougainvillea also serves as a good skin treatment as its antiseptic properties help prevent acne and peeling. (Wikipedia)
I am especially a lover of the most unusual colors of this tree, the most common color is fuchsia (color of the flower), I am fascinated by the pale pink, orange and yellow flowers.
In these photographs you can see how I have looked for the opportunity, whenever possible, to photograph the trinitaria flower.

Seriously, from the bottom of your heart, if you have the space to plant trinitarias in the ground, do it!
Thanks for reading, until next time!
