Bougainvillea (bougainvillea glabra)
In 1768 Admiral Louis de Bougainville discovered the vine that bears his name. Through the ensuing years, this Brazillian Beauty has assumed its rightful place as one the most popular, spectacular and beautiful tropical plants. The vibrant purple and pink colors comes not from the small white tubular flowers, but from the three large paper-like bracts that surround each flower. Hence the name "paper flower". The Bougainvillea will typically lose some leaves for a short time during the winter due to lower lighting conditions. Under high lighting conditions, the colorful bracts will adorn the plant almost constantly and will persist for weeks. Great indoor bonsai. 7 years old. 12"-14" tall. Suitable 6"x8" humidity tray is recommended. To purchase add $3.50. Shipped via UPS 2-3 days $13.95.
