I couldn't add the ID without knowing a species name. Do you think it could be Heterostemon ellipticus? Whatever it is, it's beautiful! Posted 2 years ago

  Thank you Christine I forgot. Yes it certainly could be. There are apparently four species in Colombia: H. amoris (endemic), H. conjugatus, H.ellipticus and H. mimosoides . Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

        Oops! A contributor to iNaturalist contends that it is Heterostemon conjugatus because of bilobed leaves he observed in this photo posted there: [img]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52754112019_84130e9389_c.jpg[/img]
