A flower which, unlike the jacaranda, seems to bloom all year long in Mexico City is the bougainvillea.
Like the jacaranda, the bougainvillea is native to South America. Like the poinsettia, the "flowers" are actually bracts, colorful modified leaves that surround the insignificant blossoms. The vining shrubs can grow as tall as forty feet. The most common color is purple, but there are other varieties, such as this bush.
What color is it? These color-blind eyes would call it salmon.
