THE FLOWERS in the STAR… - a photo on Flickriver

#AbFav_FESTIVITIES_🎄

This is the palest pink poinsettia I ever saw!
The tiny flowers in the middle of the pink star look like little mouths?
Euphorbia pulcherrima is a shrub or small tree, typically reaching a height of 0.6–4 metres (2 ft 0 in–13 ft 1 in).
The plant bears dark green dentate leaves that measure 7–16 centimetres (2.8–6.3 in) in length.
The coloured bracts —which are most often flaming red but can be orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, or marbled—are often mistaken for flower petals because of their groupings and colours, but are actually leaves.
The colours of the bracts are created through photoperiodism, meaning that they require darkness (12 hours at a time for at least five days in a row) to change colour.
At the same time, the plants require abundant light during the day for the brightest colour.[
The flowers of the poinsettia are unassuming and do not attract pollinators.
They are grouped within small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf bunch, and are called cyathia.]
The poinsettia is native to Mexico.
It is now found in the wild in deciduous tropical forests at moderate elevations from southern Sinaloa down the entire Pacific coast of Mexico to Chiapas and Guatemala.
It is also found in the interior in the hot, seasonally dry forests of Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Chiapas.

May your coming days be full of goodness and joy, Magda (*_*)
