(bougainvillea 'pink pixie')

The navigator Louis Antoine de Bougainville (1729-1811) gave his name to this genus. Originally from tropical and subtropical America. Popularly known as the "paper flower". Very delicate deep pink flowers that look like paper, hence the name "paper flower". Actually the flowers are bracts of leaves at the tip of the stems that turn brilliant pink in color. Likes sun and warm temperatures. May drop some leaves during the winter for a short time. Good indoor bonsai.
