Paper Flowers: Bougainvillea in Bloom

A fully grown Bougainvillea Tree

Italian Bougainvillea variety

Bougainvillea Glabra, or commonly known as Bougainvillea is now in season in Zamboanga City. When you visit the suburban areas of Zamboanga City, normally you'll see a lot of Bougainvillea plant/vines that are decorated on most of the houses' facade. This lovely flower only blooms during hot climate, which marks the arrival of summer season. Paper Flower is also its sobriquet because of its flower's paper-like texture. Bougainvillea is actually the national flower of Guam. Bougainvillea can also be made into bonsai plants, which makes it more stunning and beautiful as it blooms only with flowers. As a matter of fact, fully grown Bougainvillea, when in blooming season, they're like a flower tree that were very colorful, especially when combined with other Bougainvillea variety. This flower comes in myriad of colors; there are purple, rare pink, red, white, yellow, and orange, that makes it more attractive, stunning, and fascinating. In addition, Bougainvillea is a thorny vine that climbs anywhere, even in neighbor's backyard. Actually, even if you intend to preserve the Bougainvillea flower, its vibrant color will never fade. Try to place it in a grumpy old book, and eventually, you have your own preserved Bougainvillea flower. This flower happens to be the favorite flower of my very dear friend. They really look lovely.
