Monday Red - Color challenge - Cotinus coggýgria

This photograph, in my opinion, in addition to being consistent with the theme of Monday, shows us something red, you can see other interesting points.

For example, we can get acquainted, if we are not familiar, with a plant called Cotinus coggýgria, which is very controversial.

Yes, looking at its flowers it is very difficult to call them flowers, they look more like thin and furry caterpillars.

Botanists cannot come to a consensus, some believe that this is a tree, while others are sure that it is a large shrub, but few shrubs live a hundred years like this, a beautiful plant.

Looking through these red flowers you want to feel the depth of the landscape that hides behind the top of the Moldavian hill on which I discovered Cotinus coggýgria, but if you look for a long time, in case you are too impressionable, you will not see anything, you will want to sneeze, these flowers , this is facilitated, as I said, for the impressionable.

Yes, I am one of them, apparently, I could not stay near this plexus of flowers for a long time, taking a picture, I said goodbye to this beautiful shrub tree from which yellow paint is extracted ... another contradiction - a tree with red flowers, in theory, may be the source of the red paint, but, it is not.
