ポインセチア poinsettia

クリスマスが近づくとあちこちでポインセチアの鉢を見かけます。赤い葉が印象的で目立ちますが、、小さな花も良く見ると可愛いです。アヒル口のような面白い形をしたものは蜜腺です。

As we are getting closer to Christmas, we come across a pot of a poinsettia here and there. The red leaves are impressive and conspicuous, but the small flowers are also cute if you look closely. The thing that has an interesting shape like a duck mouth is the honey gland.
