multi-colour bougainvillea

bougainvilleas come in a variety of colours, namely, yellow, exotic orange, purple, deep purple, pink and white. you may have come across a hybrid bi-colour bougainvillea. but, have you ever seen one with all the colours in one bougainvillea plant?

set eyes on one today at ngee phoe flower garden at 240 neo tiew crescent. what we refer to as the flowers are actually the bracts.

( a bract is a modified leaf growing just below a flower or flower stalk. bracts are generally small and inconspicuous, but some are showy and petallike, as the brightly coloured bracts of bougainvillaea or the white or pink bracts of flowering dogwoods.)
