A close-up shot of a poinsettia plant shows its vibrant red leaves and a small, budding flower in the center. The caption explains that the colorful leaves evolved to attract specific pollinators.
If you ever wondered what a poinsettia flower ACTUALLY looked like, this is it! Fun fact, the colorful leaves (red/pink/white/cream) evolved to have certain pigments based on the specific pollinators that those color hues evolved with! The pure white poinsettia is *likely* an ultraviolet purple hue
