BOUGAINVILLEA
Bougainvillea, Bougainvillea glabra, is an evergreen vine or shrub belonging to the four-o'clock family, Nyctaginaceae. Native to South America, bougainvillea can be grown outdoors in any frost-free area. In the tropics bougainvillea plants are grown as pruned shrubs. In Florida and California they are used as showy flowering vines. The actual flowers are small and inconspicuous but have large, rose-colored bracts.
