A day of late October...
Echoing what I know, what are known, what can be known and what I should know about LANGUAGES as "Language is Culture"...

On my recent trip home, I realized that there is a wild bush resembling the expensive Poinsettia that are decorating the mountains in our hometown. Like the Poinsettia, the base leaves are colored green while those at the top are colored red. It also spells out "Merry Christmas!" The bush is called "LOSUNG" in the Kankanaey language.
Among the pictures shown is the real Poinsettia...
