We're not sure of the varietal name of this Bougainvillea, but we love the way it cascades from this simple pot. Bougainvillea are thorny, woody vines native to South America. The colorful "flowers" are actually bracts, modified leaves that protect the flower, which is small and inconspicuous. The plant and its many hybrids come in hues of pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. It grows wonderfully well in the Ozarks, providing color all season long.
