The beautiful Bougainvillea is the national flower of Grenada. It's not the flowers that make this plant so colorful — it's the leaf-like bracts that sprout brilliant blossoms in shades of red, magenta, purple and white. The plant blossoms all year round and is found throughout the Americas. Grenada chose it as the national flower shortly after independence in 1974. This is part of TERRARIA O&A, my series of animated 3D terrariums, and was commissioned for the “Origins” collection showcasing five terrariums containing the national flowers of five Caribbean nations. • The animated gif is for display on the marketplace collection page. • The buyer receives the full single-channel video, silent, mp4, H.264 encoding, 960 x 960 px (displays well at 3000 x 3000 px), 1m 36s, 62.6MB.
