Explanation:
True Flowers
Although you'll notice the colorful parts of a bougainvillea plant first, its true flowers are tiny and inconspicuous. Considered a "perfect" flower in botanical terms, the flower contains both the male sexual structure, or stamen, and the female sexual structure, or pistil. Bougainvillea flowers are trumpet-shaped, white or yellow-white, waxy and less than 1 inch long. They typically develop in a triangularly arranged group of three flowers on a single short stem. Two of these three flowers usually open at the same time, with the third opening slightly later.
Seeds
Although bougainvillea flowers contain both male and female components, they are not self-fertile, and need cross-pollination from other bougainvillea plants to produce seeds. The bougainvillea flower makes nectar that attracts butterflies, moths and hummingbirds, which often carry pollen on their bodies, distributing it among nearby plants. The flower's nectar is kept in a structure called a nectary, which is a swollen area at the base of the tubular flower. The nectary has a long, thin neck accessible to these pollinators. When pollen from another plant is deposited on the surface of the flower's pistil, it grows down into the base of the pistil, called its ovary, where fertilization occurs and seeds develop.
Bracts
Although not technically part of the bougainvillea flower, specialized leaves called bracts surround the tiny true flowers. Bracts come in many bright colors, making bougainvillea a strikingly colorful garden plant. Three papery-looking bracts surround each group of three tiny flowers. Each bract has a central vein, with several spider-like, small veins radiating from it. Although the bracts are leaves, they don't photosynthesize the way most leaves do. Instead, their main function is to protect the tiny flowers that they surround and they also help attract pollinating insects and hummingbirds to the plant with their bright colors.
Flowering
Flower production in bougainvilleas depends on several factors. The plants generally flower best when grown in full sun. They can tolerate some shade for a few hours each day, but flowering is lessened under these conditions. Light fertilizing with a balanced, 10-10-10 formula three times each year also helps promote blooming. Bougainvilleas need average amounts of water to thrive. If flowering lags, stressing a plant slightly by withholding water until soil is dry can stimulate a new round of blossoms. In container-grown plants, allowing the roots to become crowded can also help spur blooming.
