Bougainvillea Which Changes Colours

Ever seen a Bougainvillea flower which changes colours?
I had also not seen one till this morning. While walking around the Dolphin Hill in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, I noticed a Bougainvillea shrub with different coloured flowers.
One shrub. One branch but flowers having different colours? Incredible!
Closer look revealed Nature's palette. See the pictures.

Apparently, in some varieties of Bougainvillea, the white petals turn pink over few days of flowering. Pictures below demonstrate this behaviour.

In the picture below, all the flowers have almost turned pink!

We end with a PQ- picturesque quote inspired by the falling branches of a Bougainvillea shrub shown in the picture.

So, in life we need to climb. Else, we will remain where we are and ultimately decay.

Some of the previous posts with PQs on flowers are listed below. You may click to browse.

Symmetry in Nature
Life is like a Wildflower
Where flowers bloom so does hope
Saying it with Flowers

Thanks for browsing
