Poinsettia Poinsettias South Africa Euphorbiaceae

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by Alan Weaving, the flamboyant Poinsettia takes center stage, flaunting its scarlet bracts that resemble a fiery flamenco dancer's skirt. Hailing from Mexico but finding a new home in Grahamstown, Eastern Cape of South Africa, this exotic beauty has become an ornamental sensation across gardens and towns. With petals so vividly red they could ignite envy in any rose garden, the Poinsettia effortlessly steals the show. Its flower head delicately balances atop large scarlet bracts like a prima ballerina gracefully perched on her tiptoes. This display is nothing short of nature's own masterpiece. As if plucked straight from a tropical paradise and dropped into African soil, this deciduous wonder enchants all who lay eyes upon it. The euphorbiaceae family must be proud to have birthed such an enchanting creation! So next time you find yourself strolling through Grahamstown or exploring the wilds of Eastern Cape, keep your eyes peeled for this Mexican marvel. But beware! Its mesmerizing allure might just make you want to break out into spontaneous dance moves too – after all, who can resist joining Mother Nature's fiery fiesta?
