Summary[edit]

Description

Common name: Bougainvillea, Cherei (Manipuri), Booganbel बूगनबेल (Hindi), Baganbilas (Bengali), Booganvel बूगनवेल (Marathi), Bouganvila बुगनविला (Konkani), Kagithala Puvvu కాగితాల పువ్వు (Telugu)

Botanical name: Bougainvillea - [ (boo-gan-VIL-lee-uh) named for Louis Antoine de Bougainville, the first Frenchman to cross the Pacific Ocean ] Family: Nyctaginaceae (four o'clock family) - [ (nyk-taj-i-NAY-see-ay) The Nyctaginea (four o'clock) family; (from the Greek nyx or nyxtos, meaning night-blooming) ]

Origin: Brazil

Bougainvillea are rapid growing and flower all year in warm climates, especially when pinched or pruned. Bloom cycles are typically four to six weeks. Bougainvillea grow best in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilization, but the plant requires little water to flower. As indoor houseplants in temperate regions, they can be kept small by bonsai techniques. If overwatered, Bougainvillea will not flower and may lose leaves or wilt, or even die from root decay.

Various species of bougainvillea are the official flowers of the island of Guam (B. spectabilis), of Lienchiang and Pingtung Counties in Taiwan, and of the cities of Tagbilaran, Philippines, Camarillo, California and Laguna Niguel, California.
