In gentle folds

In gentle folds
Two small water droplets on a gorgeous red Poinsettia bract.

"Because of their groupings and colors, laypeople often think these (red bracts) are the flower petals of the plant. In fact, the flowers are grouped within the small yellow structures found in the center of each leaf bunch, and they are called cyathia.

Euphorbia pulcherrima, commonly known as poinsettia, is a species of flowering plant indigenous to Mexico. The name "poinsettia" is after Joel Roberts Poinsett, the first United States Minister to Mexico, who introduced the plant into the US in 1828. It is also called the Atatürk flower." From Wikipedia.
