This flower is gorgeous, and as big as a small dish. The black spot on the stamens is a bumblebee. Rio de Janeiro, late summer.

The whole tree. Still not a very tall tree, although in their natural habitat they can grow up to 40 meters high. Rio de Janeiro, late summer.

This is the fruit. The sepals grow even more when the flower fade, and protects the edible part inside. Rio de Janeiro, early autumn.
