Hello Hivers...
On this occasion I share a post about Bougainvillea flowers or in Indonesia better known as paper flowers. Paper flowers or bougainvillea with the scientific name bougenvillia spectabillis are popular ornamental plants. Its shape is a small tree that is difficult to grow upright. Its beauty comes from its brightly colored flower sheaths and attracts attention because it grows densely. This flower sheath is often considered part of the flower, although the real flower is a small flower protected by a sheath. This sheath contains substances that are good for health.
Originating from South America, paper flowers are often planted in parks and residential areas. When they flower, paper flowers have a habit of shedding some of their leaves. The shape of the plant is a small tree that is difficult to grow upright that has a flower sheath. This plant is called a paper flower because the shape of its flower sheath is thin and has characteristics like paper. The English name for this flower is bougainvillea which is taken from the name of Sir Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a French navy soldier. Some of the famous types of paper flowers include: Bougainvillea ‘Elizabeth Angus’, Bougainvillea ‘Red’, Bougainvillea Pultonii, Bougainvillea ‘Easter Parade’, and Bougainvillea ‘Lady Mary Baring.

Red Bougainvillea flowers are one type of flower that is very popular in tropical areas, including in Indonesia. This flower is famous for its bright colors and ability to thrive in various environmental conditions. Usually this plant grows as a shrub or vine that can reach a height of up to 10 meters, making it ideal for use as a hedge, hedge, or decoration on the walls of the house. However, now many are planted in pots. Red Bougainvillea requires full sunlight to thrive and grow optimally, and likes loose soil and good drainage.
In addition to its beauty, red Bougainvillea is also known to be easy to care for. This plant is quite resistant to drought, although it still requires sufficient watering, especially during the summer. With a little pruning, Bougainvillea can grow thicker and flower more, making it a popular choice in gardens or as an ornamental plant in the yard. With its striking red color, red Bougainvillea flowers not only add beauty, but also create a fresh and lively atmosphere around the environment where it grows.
