Flower of the day: Bougainvillea

A common garden plant for the UAE, Bougainvillea blooms with white flowers, with each cluster of three surrounded by bright bracts in colours such as pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, or yellow.

Bougainvillea grow best in dry soil, positioned in direct, bright sunlight.

Bougainvillea is native to South America and is known by different names in each South American country but to most of us here in the U.A.E this beautiful and hardy plant that we see everywhere is Bougainvillea.
