Too bad. I’ll keep my eye out for it. This is the first time I’ve seen it, though.

I can’t make out the beetle well enough to ID the family.

I hope you come across it again and get a good shot.

Hi Tatyana,
Yes, this plant is found only in Central and South America, and it’s the kind of plant that probably will never be cultivated. But because it’s here, and because it is so spectacular when it does bloom, I’m becoming very attached to it.

I am going to have to find out more about that beetle.

Thanks for dropping by.

Mary

I’ve never heard about this plant. Flowers are lovely. And that beetle – great shot!
