Coloured bracts are often called "modified leaves" that are often mistaken for petals due to their vibrant color. These bracts are important in attracting pollinators to the plant and are commonly found in plants like poinsettias and bougainvillea.
These are called spathes. They are modified leaves that surround the inflorescence of certain plants, such as aroids and palms, serving to attract pollinators and protect the developing flowers. They can come in various colors and sizes, adding to the ornamental appeal of these plants.
A flower is a modified shoot, not a leaf. However, if you're referring to leaves that are modified to resemble flowers, those are called "bracts." Bracts can often be colorful and may help attract pollinators, as seen in plants like poinsettias and bougainvilleas.
The bright pink leaves of a bougainvillea are actually not leaves but specialized leaves called bracts. These bracts are used to attract pollinators, with the true flower being the small white tube in the center. The vibrant colors of the bracts help the plant stand out and increase its chances of attracting pollinators for reproduction.
In bougainvillea, the colored parts are actually modified leaves called bracts. The true flowers are small and white and are surrounded by these colorful bracts, which help attract pollinators. Bougainvillea does not have distinct sepals and petals like other flowers.
No, a bougainvillea is not a simple leaf. It is a type of plant that has modified leaves called bracts that surround its small white flowers.
Green and red are the original colors of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, the plant's leaves are green. Its modified leaves that surround where the flower develops and blooms are called true and transitional bracts. The transitional bracts are between the leaves and the true bracts. When the flower blooms in late December, the transitional bracts change in color from green to red. The true bracts are the modified leaves that are immediately around the flower. They spend their entire lives red.

A reddish-purple dye is what the Aztecs of ancient Mexico made from the bracts of poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, the bracts are modified leaves. There are two kinds. One are the true bracts that spend their entire lives red in color. They immediately surround the plant's dainty, inconspicuous yellow flower. The transitional bracts are between the true bracts and the plant's regular leaves. The transitional bracts change in color from green to red, in time for the Christmas holidays. The regular leaves always stay green in color.

The tips of the stems are the locations of flowers on poinsettias (Euphorbia pulcherrima).Specifically, the flowers are dainty, inconspicuous, and yellow when they bloom. They are surrounded by true and transitional bracts. Bracts are modified leaves. The true bracts immediately surround the flower. They are always bright red in color. The transitional bracts are located between the true bracts and the plant's regular leaves. The transitionals start out green in color. But they undergo changes that culminate in their surfaces turning bright red by the time that the flower blooms in December.The red of the true bracts and the reddening of the transitionals may be protective adaptations by which poinsettias protect their flowers.
The grass flower generally have leafy bracts (lemma & palea), hence form a simple flower.
