Macro Monday: Poinsettia

This is a macro of a beautiful poinsettia.  Did you know that the colorful parts are actually the bracts and the flowers are tiny and in the center of the bracts?  Check out more macros here:)

  1. My little elderly friend, Lillie, turned 88 last week and received two of the prettiest poinsettias. Love your photo and the info. Thinking of you and Far Guy today especially.

  6. It is a wonderful shot. I really like the plain red ones, but these new peppermint stick ones are great.
