Bougainvillea
The New York Botanical Garden
Bronx, United States
When Kahlo was a young girl and living at Casa Azul, her father decorated the courtyard with tropical and temperate-climate plants, including bougainvillea, which was draped on a doorway. The plant is found in archival photographs of Kahlo’s garden during her adulthood ca. 1940 and occasionally in her hair. Today, these plants are very popular in home gardens.
