"The genus Bougainvillea is native to South America, where there are several species. These have been hybridized extensively by gardeners to create the many beautiful cultivars that are iconic parts of warm-climate gardens around the world. Bougainvillea are mostly big, scrambling vines with small, white flowers. But like other popular plants, such as the poinsettia, the real show is not from the flowers but from the intensely colorful, papery bracts that surround the actual blossoms." - I guess that's why the color lasts so long...
