Animals and Vegetation in East Africa - Zanzibar Tanzania 2016 - A vibrant bougainvillea vine dominates the image, showcasing a stunning display of purple bracts and delicate white flowers. The dense foliage creates a rich tapestry of color, with the sunlight enhancing the vividness of the blooms. The plant's growth habit is characterized by its thick, bushy form, suggesting it's climbing and spreading over a supporting structure. Bougainvillea is known for its resilience and preference for warm, sunny conditions, and its striking color is derived from the modified leaves called bracts rather than the true petals. Bougainvillea is a genus of flowering plants native to South America. They are widely cultivated for their showy bracts and are often used in landscaping and ornamental displays. They are relatively low-maintenance plants, thriving in well-drained soil and full sunlight. Species common name: Bougainvillea Family: Nyctaginaceae Scientific name: Bougainvillea glabra
