Reciprocity
This is purple allamanda (Allamanda blanchetii), a cousin of yellow bell (Allamanda cathartica). Allamandas are used throughout the tropics as ornamentals. They are easy to cultivate in warm conditions, require abundant water and full sun to grow. All parts of the plant, however, are toxic, and the milky sap can irritate the skin.
My amazement on how natural phenomenon curve intricate shapes using another natural life form attracted me to take a closer look into the floral details. The image shown conveys how flowers reciprocate with what sunrays have given it to grow & glow, a STAR across the throat of the trumpet-shaped bloom that shines so well when the sun strikes on it.

A very interesting view into this flower you show here.The star like form is very nice, but it is a little overexposed.
regards Joe
