Here's my short and sweet version of what Wikipedia has for us on this beautiful flowering plant:

Bougainvillea (pronounced /ˌbuːɡɨnˈvɪliə/)[1] is a genus of flowering plants native to South America from Brazil. Different authors accept between four and 18 species in the genus. The plant was discovered in Brazil in 1768, by Philibert Commerçon, French Botanist accompanying French Navy admiral and explorer Louis Antoine de Bougainville (hence the name of course) during his voyage of circumnavigation.

The Arabic name Guhanameya, meaning from Guhannam or (Hell and Fire) is of course referring to its fiery bright colors.

Bougainvilleas or Guhanameyas are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season as in Egypt of course. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts (leaves in fancy botanical language) 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 leaves are thin and papery.

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.
