Bougainvillea is one plant which delights me very much on account of the diversities it presents. The stems are so tough and thorny (one little spike is sure to give you a couple of days of a swollen finger) while it's flowers are paper thin and are just as delicate as they are beautiful. Bougainvillea comes in a wide variety of colors; pink, white, yellow, peach, orange, red etc. However the most common colors are pink and white.
The bougainvillea you can see in the pics is one of the cuttings of a huge creeper growing in a nearby park. I got these cuttings saved when the monthly pruning was done but unfortunately I was not successful with its propagation. Any how they kept my little garden cheery for a week or so.
