So here's the expensive, disease-resistant, red-bracted dogwood (Cornus kousa 'Scarlet Fire') I planted this spring. The nursery guy said the leaf chlorosis is due to lack of micronutrients so we'll see whether it snaps back after a few drenches of those. Fingers crossed. #dogwood #cornus #bracts #disease #rutgers #trees #fertilizer #leaves

My neighbor's dogwood after some rain. The red structures are bracts, leaves modified to function as petals for the drab inflorescence within. #dogwood #flowers #trees #petals #bracts #botany #rain #water #cornus #pollination

The #Bougainvillea #vine is native to South America, but is widely grown ornamentally.
The showy #flowers are really just modified #leaves. The true flowers are the small white circles bundled up with #pink and #orange #bracts.

The silvery-white #bracts on these #MissWillmottsGhost (Eryngium giganteum) #flowers are quite stunning. It's not often you see plant parts (other than the actual flower #petals) that are a color like that.

Found at the Carl S. English Jr. #BotanicalGarden in #Seattle.
