Many species of different colors of Bougainvillea are also found in India.
But, as I know, the middle small flowers are always white.
The purple looks nice

Hi, This plant is native from South America from Brazil to Peru, It is widely used as a beautiful garden plant around the word. Since it is native from South America I am not sure if it should be put in the flowers of Europe mission.
