| Description |
Common name: Bougainvillea, Cherei (Manipuri), Booganbel बूगनबेल (Hindi), Baganbilas (Bengali), Booganvel बूगनवेल (Marathi), Bouganvila बुगनविला (Konkani), Kagithala Puvvu కాగితాల పువ్వు (Telugu) Botanical name: Bougainvillea - [ (boo-gan-VIL-lee-uh) named for Louis Antoine de Bougainville, the first Frenchman to cross the Pacific Ocean ] Cultivar: Ms Alice Family: Nyctaginaceae (four o'clock family) - [ (nyk-taj-i-NAY-see-ay) The Nyctaginea (four o'clock) family; (from the Greek nyx or nyxtos, meaning night-blooming) ] Origin: Brazil Named after Louis de Bougainvillea, a French navigator who came across it in Brazil during the 18th century, Bougainvillea has gained popularity all over the world, due to its versatility, richness and suitability to thrive in degrading environmental conditions. A truly unique variety, Miss Alice is almost totally thorn less and displays massive clusters of huge white bracts. When in full bloom, it is a real showstopper. A slow growth rate, heavy flowering habit and an extremely low thorn count make Miss Alice a winner. It flowers year around and is much more tolerant of wet, summer conditions than other varieties.
