El bonsái bugambilia ofrece uno de los espectáculos visuales más deslumbrantes en el arte del bonsái debido a la explosión masiva de sus brácteas, las falsas hojas de colores que protegen a la flor. Aunque la bugambilia es originalmente una planta trepadora o enredadera muy vigorosa, los maestros del bonsái logran transformarla en árboles en miniatura de troncos leñosos, retorcidos y con un sombreado espectacular. Es una especie puramente tropical y mediterránea. Necesita la mayor cantidad de luz solar directa posible para que sus brácteas adquieran esos tonos fucsias, púrpuras, rojos o naranjas tan vibrantes. Debido a su rápido crecimiento, requiere podas constantes tras cada ciclo de floración para mantener la estructura compacta del árbol y fomentar que broten nuevas ramificaciones finas, que es donde nacerán las futuras flores.

¿Flores sin pétalos? Efectivamente, no te engañan tus ojos. Lo que ves en estas anémonas japonesas son sépalos petaloides que parecen pétalos. Estos días destaca en el @RJBOTANICO el cultivar ‘Géante des Blanches’, de grandes flores blancas.

As a native Texan I can't agree more. The Wildflower fields of Texas are under appreciated as one of nature's greatest displays.
Bluebonnets, all the way!
