Re: Flowers 2014
Sury the first one I bought at a greenhouse but probably grows in the wild somewhere in Colombia. The second one I found growing wild. Both are visited by longer billed hummingbirds like Bronzy Inca and Tawny-bellied Hermit. There is a much larger flowered epiphytic Kohleria that grows in my woods. It is pollinated by bats. I'm waiting for it to flower so I can get a Sony picture of it.

Thanks Pitter. Very interesting. I did not know that Bats pollinated flowers.

Good experiment. Hard to tell the light location in some.

Re: Flowers 2014
Pitter, my apologies for the ambiguity. The first one is the wireless flash experiment.
The other two are regular backyard shots.

Sury I meant that the light source not being apparent made the photo interesting.

This is Cremosperma castroanum. It grows almost un noticed on the floor of premontain cloud forest. I believe it is a kind of begonia.

This a wild Kohleria that grows in my woods, Kohleria tigridia. It is always associated with a tree so I would call it epiphytic. It is the one I referred to that is pollinated by bats.
