Bougainvilleas are named after its discoverer, Louis Antoine de Bougainville, a French Navy Admiral in Brazil in 1768 and was touted as the botanical discovery of his voyage to the Pacific Ocean
Bougainvilleas can be grown as a shrub or vine. Here at the back entrance of Mahkota Hotel Melaka it is grown as a hedge.
This is the longest single colour bougainvillea hedge I have seen stretching more than a 100m long. The almost full bloom of purple pink flowers is a dramatic sight to behold and it opens up your heart when you see it
Bougainvilleas are tropical plants and they thrive best outdoors and in areas with low rainfall and intense heat. Melaka city weather which is regularly sunny and hot suits the bougainvilleas
Seen from an angle, the blooms do make Mahkota Hotel pretty majestic!What's there to do?
1. Come see the bloom while it's still blooming..of course
2. Take photos
3. Buy some bougainvillea plants and start a hedge of your own
Now who says there's nothing to see and nothing to do in Melaka?
