hidden secrets: thunbergia alata

A peek inside the throat of a Thunbergia alata (black-eyed Susan vine) flower. The "flower parts" are essentially invisible to the naked eye, while the flower is on the vine. I had never actually seen them before, despite having grown Thunbergia alata for years, because these flowers are so discreet. I had to get right up close and use the flash to get this view.
