:: Bougainvillea (bougainvillea "glabra")
Bougainvillea (bougainvillea "glabra")
In 1768 Admiral Louis de Bougainville discovered the vine that bears his name. Through the ensuing years this Brazilian beauty has assumed its rightful place as the most popular, spectacular and beautiful tropical plant. The vibrant purple color comes not from the small white tubular flowers, but from the three large paper-like bracts that surround each flower. Hence the popular name "paper flower." The Bougainvillea will typically lose some leaves for a short time during the winter due to lower lighting conditions. The colorful bracts will adorn the tree almost constantly year round when given sufficient natural light. Great indoor bonsai. 47 years old. 19"x14"x23". Potted in a 14" ceramic blue/green fluted oval container as shown. Suitable 14.5"x10.5" humidity tray is recommended. To purchase add $11.95. Shipped via UPS ground - $89.95.
