Plant morpho-physiological and flowering characteristics of Bougainvillea were observed during one year of study. It was observed that leaf and shoot growth rate were higher in earlier stage compared to later stage. Leaf, shoot and bract growth were also higher until 11 days from the initial days of observation. Flowering was greatly reduced or completely inhibited during the vegetative growth of the plant. It took 12 days to initiate the flowering bud from the vegetative stage.
