Bougainvillea are plants with thorny ornamental vines  and come as  bushes or trees with flower-like spring leaves near its flowers.  The vine species grow anywhere from 1 to 12 m, scrambling over other plants with their spiky thorns. 

They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. 

The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six leaves that look like a flower, with colours varying from pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, to yellow. 

Bougainvillea  are sometimes referred to as "paper flowers" because the pseudo-flowers (leaves, "bracts") are thin and papery.
