all bougainvillea are beautiful and difficult to choose from


.1) mary palmer is a variety which has 2 colours dark pink and white, it flowers profusely.


2) Shubra is a variety white in colour.


3) Dr. thimma is derived from mary palmer the only difference is that it has variegated leaves so when it is not flowering the bush till is good to see.


4) a golden variety is known as lady mary baring. I am sorry i can't choose between the last three. Remember one thing 'the best bougainvillea are those that are at a place which is most neglected'

Reply:The purple variety has the riches colour %26amp; they seem to hold there colour longer.To get a lot of flowers you should put bougainvillea in a sunny poistion, the plant can even handle western sun if the soil is kept moist.
