Monday Macro – Poinsettia flower

Its always fun to get a closer look at things. This is the actual flower of the poinsettia. We often look at the bracts and never beyond them. The bract are the colorful leaf like structures that grab our attention. The actual flowers are tiny and often ignored.

Macro always pay attention to details.  Even in life we get carried away by success or failure and forget to pay attention to what took us there. If we pay attention to the finer details we can replicate them once again or help others achieve the same or avoid the pitfalls.

This picture was taken a few years ago. I hope you like it

  1. The poinsettia flower has an interesting history in Texas. But I have always liked this flower because I was born in December and my mom told it was “my” flower. LOL.

    • I love poinsettias. Lots of people talk about birth month flowers . I was born in the spring and I guess I have a bouquet for birth month flowers. 😀

  2. I agree with you. Sometimes we miss out the details, and I am glad I got to see a lot of beautiful photos at Virily with the macro look of the flowers.

  3. The possibilities are simply that we need to open our eyes to what is there.

    Great picture, we don’t keep the plants in our house (we tend to kill plants) but also we don’t keep anything in the house that would hurt the dogs.
