The sport was found by Mr. szhualao in Mr. Ye’s bougainvillea nursery in Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, China, in July 2009 and developed by Mr. Ye.
Mr. szhualao gave the name to the new variety.

acuminate apex, glabrous. New Leaves green in the middle and yellow-green at the edge as margins. Old leaves green in whole. Bracts ovate, twisted, heart-shaped bottom, acute apex. New bracts bright orange, old bracts pink. Flower-tubes shorter, contraction in the middle, the same color as the bracts. True-flowers cream-yellow, not prominent.
