A lovely purple leaf with a tiny white flower in the middle, I found these along the coast of paleokastritsa. I wish I knew what species it was. :)

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

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bougainvillea
