No clue, but when seeking plant ID help, it's best to show flower, leaf, and stem. The more parts of the plant shown, the better.
This is it! The flowers and the leaves! That's why it is so interesting! Thank you!

I doubt that the coloured appendages are flowers, they look like bracts (modified leaves) to me. I think you will find that the flowers are the tiny buds on the end of the stalks. The best that I can come up with is Bougainvillea, although I have not seen one that colour. Plant breeders make this game harder to play every year.
As Dan said if we could see the stems it would be easier as most Bs with prolific coloured bracts have thorns on the stems and in general the formation of the leaves and axils on the stem is often diagnostic.
Did you see this plant yourself? Was its habit a scrambling heavy climber or something else? If so B. is most likely.

I think it might be a hybrid Euphorbia of some sort (lots of new cultivars are being developed with showy, doubled flowers).
But as the previous responder said, it helps to have images of more parts of the plant. I may be way off.
