Tank YOU for gracing these pages with such a magnificent specimen!

Yes sir (Argybee), I also read about them in botany, as these flowers don't have any scent or aesthetic beauty they developed their floral leaves (bracts) to beautiful purple structures for attracting pollinators

What a great specimen! Such a beautiful display!

Magnificent specimen! You can see some of the white flowers also. Many people don't realise the purple is leaves.

That is one amazing Bougainvillea. Beats anything I've ever seen! Nice perspective on lead photo.
