My entry to the Phone Photography Contest #68 [En-Es] The different flowers of the annatto
Did the annatto tree grow flowers of a different color?
No, they're actually from the vine next to it. It seems to have an affinity with it, even imitating the shape of its leaves.
Acaso al 🌳 árbol de onoto le salieron flores de otro color?.
No, en realidad son de la enredadera que esta al lado. Parece tener afinidad con él, imitando incluso la forma de sus hojas 🍃.
Its true flowers are pale pink and have many pistils.

The fruits are capsules with brick-red "hairs" containing many seeds of the same color.

Years ago I made a post where I talked about its benefits and the tradition in my country that revolves around it.
Años atrás hice una publicación donde hablé de sus bondades y la tradición en mi país que gira en torno a ella.
Its scientific name is Bixa Orellana and a valuable condiment is extracted from its seeds that is consumed in many regions of the world, rich in nutrients and with a color that highlights various traditional dishes.

It is essential in an important Christmas dish in my country as it gives it its characteristic appearance.

Medicinal properties are also attributed to both its fruit and its leaves.

The name of the vine is Bignonia alliacea
