It hasn't flowered yet for me. I think it's too crowded / not enough sun.
It's approx 8m tall and is probably 7-8 yrs old, so I don't get the impression it's ever going to do much.
I was comparing w/ leaf drawing in Dirr and thought my leaves looked similar. It was just a drawing, but no serration.
He reports common name is bougainvillia (sp?) koelreutia.
Mine is definitely alternate leaves; I couldn't tell in your linked photo if alternate or opposite.
Some areas looked alternate, some looked opposite.
If it ever flowers, I'll know for sure. I pruned off a branchlet for closer look at leaves (below).
