This is a small one! Bougainvillea can grow up to 60ft/18m high or taller on palms.
Huge Bougainvillea shrubs grow along the freeways here in San Diego and many areas of California.

Yes, they're pretty spectacular. It's difficult to enjoy them, though - because many are along the freeways.

Thanks! It's one of the most common colors.
