Peacock flowers

in Nature Observer6 days ago

Today I try to share photography of red peacock flowers combined with yellow growing on the side of the road. The very bright color is striking from a distance, I can already see it. Can't wait to get there. The appearance is so captivating as if this view does not want to look away from it, it is so beautiful. He managed to show nature in the most amazing, charming and harmonious form. The lush green leaves provide a contrasting background for the striking red and yellow colors.

Peacock flowers are one of the undeniable attractions of the outdoors, they are the main magnet for insects such as wasps, bees and butterflies. Because peacock flowers are one of the flowers that produce abundant nectar. So there is no reason for wasps, bees and butterflies not to love this flower. The shape of the flower structure is open or the stamens are long, it makes it very easy for insects to access nectar.

In addition, peacock flowers also have a sweet aroma with a fresh touch. The aroma is not too strong so that it is not smelled by the human sense of smell. I just found out that this flower has a scent, when I took the picture earlier. It seems like this flower releases its scent very early in the morning, because I saw earlier that as the sun shone, the scent slowly disappeared until there was no scent at all.
