Bouganvillea


Bouganvilleas were named after the famous French explorer, Admiral Louis de Bougainville, who "discovered" them in 1768 when he and his crew became the first Frenchmen to circumnavigate the globe. The purple "blooms" are not true flowers, but instead are papery bracts that encircle the small, white, tubular flower. This Bougainvillea was found at the Cano Negro Natural Lodge in Costa Rica.
