Harlequin Leaf Flower: The 95th Flower of Spring & Summer!
I kept finding these popping up around our meadows and kept thinking they were just some odd plant with really cool leaves. In fact, I took a few pictures before I realized that this is a flower!!! It's a little bit like a Bougainvillea. Did you know that the lovely petals of Bougainvillea flowers are actually its LEAVES?! The flowers are so small you can hardly see them! (Picture by one of my wonderful Flickr friends, VK Clicks!) The flowers in the top picture are the little buds at the top. The picture below shows the tiny blossoms! Isn't this neat?!! I have no idea what it's called, so for now I've named it a Harlequin Leaf Flower! :)
