Bougainvillea glabra

The picture is on the wall of my house. Virtually Bougainvillea is everywhere in Thailand. Think it name came from French Explorer Bougainvillea, but not for sure.  Its too similar isn't it? It has many names by its color and species like; Scarlet O'Hara, Hawaiian Scarlet, San Diego Red, Temple Fire or Helen Johnson. 9 July 1999 I already have many pictures of Bougainvillea.    I always attracted by the lights dancing on the petals of this lovely flower.  It look like they are posing for me! So I cannot help but taking picture again - Bougainvillea. November 1999
