	The cultural requirements of the bougainvilleas are of the easiest. They thrive in almost any kind of soil and should be grown in full sunshine. B. glabra and its varieties are the best for ordinary purposes, as they bloom when small, and thrive readily in a cool greenhouse or in the open where free from frost. B. spectabilis and its var. lateritia require more tropical conditions and reach large dimensions. All are readily propagated, and will root in a few weeks from cuttings of the young shoots a few inches in length and placed in sandy soil in bottom heat and moisture at a temperature of 65° or 70° F. B. glabra and its varieties make most excellent pot-plants, either as large or small specimens. They are also valuable for summer bedding. All the kinds make very desirable subjects for clothing verandas, arches and pergolas or for planting at the base of trees (where the climate is suitable for outdoor culture), which they will rapidly clothe in a mass of most beautiful and highly colored flower-bracts. Another and most effective purpose to which these plants can be put is that of hedge or fence plants in tropical and subtropical countries. They stand drought exceedingly well and may be pruned with impunity. (C. P. Raffill.)		The cultural requirements of the bougainvilleas are of the easiest.

 '''Bougainvillea''' is a genus of [[flowering plant]]s native to  [[South America]] from [[Brazil]] west to [[Peru]] and south to southern [[Argentina]] ([[Chubut Province]]). Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. The name comes from [[Louis Antoine de Bougainville]], an [[admiral]] in the [[French Navy]] who discovered the plant in [[Brazil]] in 1768.
-They are thorny, woody, [[vine]]s growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their hooked thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance that is easily left in the flesh of an unsuspecting victim. They are [[evergreen]] where rainfall occurs all year, or [[deciduous]] if there is a [[dry season]]. The [[leaf|leaves]] are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The actual [[flower]] of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six [[bract]]s with the bright colors associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. ''[[Bougainvillea glabra]]'' is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery. The [[fruit]] is a narrow five-lobed [[achene]].

 Bougainvillea are relatively pest-free plants, but may suffer from worms and [[aphid]]s. The [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species also use them as food plants, for example the [[Giant Leopard Moth]].

			Numerous [[cultivar]]s and [[hybrid (biology)\|hybrid]]s have been selected, including nearly thornless shrubs. Some Bougainvillea cultivars are sterile, and are propagated from cuttings.

			Bougainvillea are rapid growing and flower all year in warm climates, especially when pinched or pruned. They grow best in moist fertile soil. Bloom cycles are typically four to six weeks. Bougainvillea grow best in very bright full sun and with frequent fertilization, but the plant requires little water to flower. As indoor [[houseplant]]s in temperate regions, they can be kept small by [[bonsai]] techniques. If overwatered, Bougainvillea will not flower and may lose leaves or wilt, or even die from root decay.

			===Symbolism===
			Various species of bougainvillea are the official flowers of the island of Grenada, the island of Guam, of Lienchiang and Pingtung Counties in [[Taiwan]]; Ipoh, Malaysia[http://www.heritage.com.my/ipoh/tour_guide/]; and of the cities of Tagbilaran, [[Philippines]]; [[Camarillo, California]]; [[Laguna Niguel, California]]; and [[San Clemente, California]].
