I just love the colors and patterns of this plant. It´s in full bloom here at home. Rio de Janeiro, early spring.

Here you can see a bumblebee on the petal, collecting nectar and pollinating the flower. It´s the most common polinator of this species. The petals and stamens seem to be projected for this specific bee. Rio de Janeiro, early spring.
