Answer
Large colourful bracts
Reason— In Bougainvillea, the flower arises in the axil of bracts, which become colourful.
Sepals are usually small, green, leaf-like structures. A nectary is the part that produces nectar to attract pollinators. Bougainvillea does have nectary. Bougainvillea’s actual petals are small and inconspicuous, not large or brightly colored.
