EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step into a world where vibrant red hues dance amidst Mexico City's enchanting wetlands. Claudio Contreras, the maestro behind this photograph, has captured the essence of nature's fiery masterpiece - the Poinsettia flowers. In this mesmerizing print, these exquisite Euphorbia pulcherrima blooms take center stage in a unique agricultural system known as chinampa. As if painted by an artist's brush, their scarlet petals burst forth against the backdrop of lush greenery and tranquil waters. These botanical wonders belong to a lineage that spans millennia - from ancient rosid ancestors to modern-day flowering plants. Standing tall with grace and elegance, they proudly represent their plantae kingdom and tracheophyta division. As members of the euphorbiaceae family, these poinsettias are no ordinary flora; they possess an irresistible charm that has captivated hearts worldwide. With each delicate petal meticulously arranged, they embody perfection in every sense. Transported to Latin America through Central America's verdant landscapes, these blossoms have become synonymous with Mexican culture. Their vivid presence adds splashes of color to celebrations throughout Mexico City and beyond. Claudio Contreras' lens immortalizes this breathtaking portrait for all to admire. It serves as a reminder that even within wetland ecosystems lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered – like jewels adorning Mother Nature herself
