Description
Fractalius Filter applied to this triple white floral capture of the Plumeria Flower. The Plumeria is native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America as far south as Brazil but have been spread throughout the world's tropics. Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure sphinx moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, however, and simply dupe their pollinators. The moths inadvertently pollinate them by transferring pollen from flower to flower in their fruitless search for nectar.
This one was captured in the Jos� Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden in Bogot�, Colombia.

Hi Blair: Lovely photo, love the lime greens going into creams plus this kind of close up is always so beautiful. Love nature! At a closer look it's almost someone outlined the black shadow line around them. f/v
