    I chance upon a bee on this plant in Cherating, Malaysia. I think its Maiden Jealously? Anyone can verify? The small bee flutters very quickly and I did not have a better camera on hand to capture it closer. :( Anyway, I like the colour of this plant. [​IMG]

    Beautiful flower. I didn't find any information about a plant with that name, maybe it's the cultivar name or local Common Name. Hope someone can help you ID it.

    Great shot of the bee, those little things are hard to catch a photo of.

    Bees and butterflies are so hard for me to get a picture of too. They never want to sit still and wait for you to get it right. I like your yellow flowers. dooley

    Lovely bloom, and the fluttering bee is a nice touch. I don't know what the plant is either, sorry.
