- Lost in a world of colors - (1)

Just as this little wildflower (Cane Tibouchina), in the recent times I would like to be lost in a world of colors, a place where reigns happiness and fantasy and is not possible to hear about so many deaths and suffering...

 

Cane Tibouchina (Tibouchina herbacea) known as "Quaresminha" in Brazil, is a shrub native from South America which was introduced in Hawai as ornamental flower, and became very invasive.

It is a herb or subshrub up to 3 feet tall with 1/2- to 1-inch pink flowers with yellow anthers.

Young branches are four-sided, densely covered with hairs and leaves are 1 to 3 inches long, with parallel main veins.

This plant is a prolific seeder and spread by birds. It forms dense stands in pastures and can also invade forest areas, displacing native species.

 

Double exposure with fantasy tones at background, added by the edition. ;)
