This cheerfully bright Bougainvillea illustrates the principle that, when it comes to flowering bonsai, the tree should be designed and displayed in a way that, first and foremost, shows off the flowers (bracts in this case - see below). Success!
For reasons that are easy to understand, we like to show flowering bonsai during these darkest days. The photo shown here is from Bonsaimania; Bonsái del álbum de Virgie Bambilla. We originally featured it in August, 2010.
Cropped for a closer look. Did you know that Bougainvillea flowers are really colorful leaves (bracts)?
