Best regards to Hive and this beautiful community dedicated to petals.
This small red flower, resembling a small brush, is among the wild flowers I enjoyed seeing in my childhood.
It was almost always on the edges of sidewalks, patios, and unkempt land.
5 months ago I saw several on a plant near home and I cut them to take photos and look for the scientific name.
Saludos cordiales a Hive y a esta bella comunidad dedicada a los pétalos.
Esta pequeña flor roja, parecida a un pequeño pincel o brocha, está entre las flores silvestres que disfruté ver en mi niñez.
Casi siempre estaba en bordes de aceras, patios, y terrenos descuidados.
Hace 5 meses ví varias en una planta cerca de casa y las corté para tomarle fotos y buscar el nombre científico.
It is called Emilia fosbergii, an annual herb from the same family as the sunflower.
Shortly after photographing and identifying them, the flowers turned into
villains and I forgot about them.
Se llama Emilia fosbergii, hierba anual de la misma familia que el girasol.
Poco después de fotografiarlas e identificarlas, las flores se convirtieron en
vilanos y me olvide de ellas.
A few days ago I realized that a small plant had grown inside the large pot that we have in the patio, probably from the seeds carried in the flowers that I had brought from the street.
Hace pocos días me di cuenta de que había nacido una plantita dentro de la maceta grande que tenemos en el patio, probablemente de las semillas transportadas en las flores que había traído de la calle.
Emilia fosbergii is a plant in the same family as the sunflower, known in the United States as "Florida Tassel Flower." Other names are carnation, Cupid's shaving brush, brush.

It is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, but it is not known exactly where it originated. Some researchers say that it is from Africa, others that it is from Asia, and still others from South America.
It has been introduced and naturalized in scattered locations in the United States and Caribbean islands.

high propagation capacity is due to the fact that the pollen of its flowers and its pappus are transported by the wind.
Su alta capacidad de propagación de debe a que el polen de sus flores y sus vilanos son transportados por el viento.
