pufferchungDescription
The last two pictures are UV flora, aka Bee Vision
Shot by a full spectrum camera with UV pass/IR suppressed filters.
From the UV pictures, I don't think these flowers are pollinated by bees.
I was told these flowers are pollinated by butterflies. Regardless, butterflies could see UV too, so the UV filter that I use is still good enough to capture the flowers' UV nectar guide.
From the UV pictures, you could see different part of flowers have different colors...the flower in the center looks like being pollinated by butterflies already.

janice22sDescription
I use this genus & species name but wonder if it is actually something different? The leaves are very similar to the pink, but they are all about half the height, and seem to have a slightly but consistent difference in shape of flower with the large open hole in the front of the pouch.
Any ideas on ID?
