Bougainvillea Glabra
Common name: Paper flower, Saint Rita.
A climbing shrub with long, strong thorny branches. Its true beauty lies in the triple bracts found together all over the plant, making it intensely colourful, having just a white, practically unnoticeable small flower in the middle. The bracts remain on the plant throughout the hot months, they then turn green, then brown and eventually dry out.
Origin: Brazil.
Little water. Sun and semi-shade.
