The Vibrant Colors of Madagascar

The poinsettia is the national flower of Madagascar. 


I have seen many gigantic poinsettia trees or bushes, including several near the Mission home. 


If you pick a leaf and turn it over, you will notice that it includes the three colors of the Madagascar flag: red, green, and white. If you fold the leaf lengthwise, it makes the shape of the island of Madagascar.


Madagascar is a country of vibrant colors, wherever you look.
