Bougainvillea glabra
Brilliant tropical vine with vivid bracts in magenta, orange, or red. Thrives in heat and drought.
Stress slightly (reduce water) to trigger blooming. Thorny — handle with gloves. Prune after each bloom cycle.
Mildly toxic to cats and dogs — the thorns are a bigger practical hazard than the mild GI upset the sap can cause.
Informational only — always check with a veterinarian if you suspect your pet has eaten something it shouldn't have.
