Origin and Breeding Spontaneous mutation: originated as<br />
a bud-sport on Bougainvillea ‘Unnamed Pink’ at applicant’s<br />
property during 1989. The sport was characterised by<br />
prolific flower production, compact habit and bright bract<br />
colour. The mutated shoot was isolated and propagated<br />
vegetatively through six generations to confirm the<br />
uniformity and stability of the selection. Selection criteria:<br />
