Tiny weed


It is almost amazing that every single flower, even a weed, has name. This tiny flower is obviously "weed", though it's so pretty....I didn't see this in my plant books and searched in the computer under "weed flower/florida" and got her name. Red Florida Tassel Flower. This is very small, 1/3 inches in diameter, I saw them in red, pink, orange and yellow, maybe just the fading process...The red photo was taken last year, and pink one, 2/4/08.
どんな花にも、雑草でさえ、必ず名前があるのは驚くべきことです。この小さな(直径8ミリ位)の明らかに雑草だけどとってもかわいい花、本を見ても出ていなくて、コンピューターで「雑草の花、フロリダ」と検索したら、レッドタッセルフラワーという名前が判明しました。赤、ピンク、オレンジ、黄色のバリエーションがありましたが、ただ色が褪せていく過程なのかも・・・・赤い写真は去年、ピンクのは2日前に撮ったものです。
