"you are like that fire, and the fire illuminates me."

Seeing the red bracts and lighting the fire one by one, this song surrounds in my mind. The difference is that now it is not just a fire in winter, but a fire that begins to burn in summer.

It is native to Nicaragua, Panama and other countries, and is cultivated in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan in China. She has many beautiful nicknames, Brazilian feather, Brazilian red cloak (Brazilian red-cloaks), mattress rouge. All are telling of her beauty.

Red bracts are suitable for growing in the tropics and south subtropics. They like high temperatures and are not resistant to cold. The hotter the weather is, the more enthusiastic they will be. It is the sun that makes her red and burns her.

Red bracts can grow to two or three meters, large leaves opposite, leaf veins clear, inflorescences terminal, high torches firmly grasp your eyes. Red bud, watching her red bracts, the bracts are symmetrically long and folded one after another.

At birth, with bluish yellow, with the passage of time, sunbathing, red makeup gradually dyed, the brilliant sun shines the bracts. Different varieties have different colors, some are pink, some are purple, but the red tone is still her main theme.

When the bracts grew in good shape, the flowers began to stick their heads out and look at the white flowers sticking out in pairs, like the ears of a little white rabbit. Look carefully, the fine fluff on the flower is exactly the same as the small fluff on the rabbit's ear. Small white flowers bloom in bits and pieces, suddenly appear several, suddenly open a few more, not into the climate, withered very quickly, but it does not matter, bracts can still stay for a long time, it is not a problem to appreciate for two months, but also can be used as cut flowers, bracts to support the face, small white flowers are passers-by.

The white ones are the real flowers.

The red flower has a long flowering period. I have seen this fiery figure in different seasons. The fire is big and the fire is small. The fire is burning in summer at this time, and if it can not be burned out this winter, we can come back to her and really present the song "A Fire in Winter".
