Description
During our visit to Athens, Greece, we were interested in seeing all the antiquities. I am very taken with flowers of all kinds. Hence, here in Athens, I could not help but not notice, nor resist capturing ALL the diverse, colorful, abundant, native flora growing there.
The froths of fuchsia Bougainvillea, otherwise known as “the paper flower,” seemed to be quite popular. It was "Bougainvillea Brilliance," at it best. I loved the gentle way these visually-stunning blooms, adorned the various private homes, balconies, and public spaces, such as here, at the Acropolis Museum.
The vine-like bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis) was named for Admiral Louis de Bougainville after being discovered and named by his botanist in 1768.
