EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by Heather Angel, the magnificent China glory flower (Clerodendrum bungei) steals the show with its striking red calyxes adorned with an array of delectable fruits. But it seems that these luscious treats are not just a feast for our eyes; they also serve as a scrumptious meal for our feathered friends! Perched within Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve in Sichuan Province, China, this botanical wonderland is home to an abundance of wildlife. The clever birds have discovered the hidden treasure trove provided by the glory flowers and happily indulge in their fruity delights. As they nibble on these juicy morsels, the birds unwittingly become nature's very own seed dispersers. With each peck and gulp, they unknowingly scatter seeds far and wide across the reserve, ensuring future generations of these glorious blooms. The vivid colors of both fruit and calyx create a mesmerizing spectacle against the backdrop of lush green foliage. It's as if Mother Nature herself has painted this picture-perfect scene to showcase her artistic prowess. So next time you spot a flock of chirping birds fluttering around vibrant red clusters amidst verdant surroundings, remember that they might just be savoring some Chinese culinary delights while unintentionally playing their part in preserving nature's beauty!
