Hello friends #natureobserver good afternoon.....
On a beautiful and peaceful morning, I ventured back into nature to breathe fresh air. And I managed to find a tiny flower that was shining in nature. His charm is so extraordinary that it makes me admire him. The size is very small but that won't stop me from praising it. The tiny flower that I found is the red castor flower or in Latin known as Jatropha gossypiifolia.
The red castor plant is a plant that grows in the wild and is easy to find. It doesn't have to be in the wilderness, there are also small bushes in the bushes, sometimes even in neglected gardens. This plant has large leaves and small, striking flowers which are the main attraction of this plant. Even the leaves on the shoots look like flowers, the color is very bright. Especially when it gets the right amount of sunlight, from a distance the leaves look very impressive.
Here, not only am I fascinated by this flower, butterflies and bees also admire it. They came one after another to visit the flower. The sun was shining hotly, butterflies and bees didn't want to be friends with me. They only visit the flowers for a while, then fly back. Don't want to give up hope of staying with them. I immediately took out my flagship cellphone to take photos of this beautiful flower.
