What determines the color of bougainvillea?

It’s hard to imagine tropical and subtropical landscaping before the introduction of bougainvillea in the early 1800s. Color is due to papery bracts that enclose the true slender tubular white flowers. Flowering is affected by water, temperature and light, soil conditions and fertilizing, and pruning.
