Day 68 – 365 Days of Photography

Bougainvilleas
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees with flower-like spring leaves near its flowers.  The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors associated with the plants, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white or yellow.  These bracts look to like they were constructed out of kite paper. 

This appears to be blooming season as everywhere you go all over the island, you’re sure to get a glimpse of the colorful bracts in bloom.

In this image, there is a tiny peek of the actual white flower on the top.
