From my collection
Perhaps I am a purist but it always baffles me when I see the delicate beauty of natural species and compare them to the often awful monstrosities cultivated by those who seem to think they can outdo nature.

Photographed the Bitter Orange Tree off one of the nature trails located in the Colt Creek State Park located in the City of Lakeland in Polk County Florida U.S.A
Bitter orange, sour orange, Seville orange, bigarade orange,
or marmalade orange is in a narrow sense the citrus tree Citrus × aurantium[a] and its fruit. It is native to Southeast Asia and has been spread by humans to many parts of the world. It is probably a cross between the pomelo, Citrus maxima, and the mandarin orange, Citrus reticulata.
It was introduced to Florida and the Bahamas from Spain and
wild trees are found near small streams in generally secluded and wooded areas.
Citrus × aurantium can be identified through its orange fruit with a distinctly bitter or sour taste. The tree has alternate simple leaves and thorns on its petiole.

Nymphaeaceae /ˌnɪmfiːˈeɪsiː/ is a family of flowering plants. Members of this family are commonly called water lilies and live as rhizomatous aquatic herbs in temperate and tropical climates around the world. The family contains eight large-flowered genera with about 70 species. The genus Nymphaea contains about 35 species in the Northern Hemisphere. The genus Victoria contains two species of giant water lilies endemic to South America. Water lilies are rooted in soil in bodies of water, with leaves and flowers floating on the surface. The leaves are round, with a radial notch in Nymphaea and Nuphar, but fully circular in Victoria.
Water lilies are a well studied clade of plants because their large flowers with multiple unspecialized parts were initially considered to represent the floral pattern of the earliest flowering plants, and later genetic studies confirmed their evolutionary position as basal angiosperms. Analyses of floral morphology and molecular characteristics and comparisons with a sister taxon, the family Cabombaceae, indicate, however, that the flowers of extant water lilies with the most floral parts are more derived than the genera with fewer floral parts. Genera with more floral parts, Nuphar, Nymphaea, Victoria, have a beetle pollination syndrome, while genera with fewer parts are pollinated by flies or bees, or are self- or wind-pollinated Thus, the large number of relatively unspecialized floral organs in the Nymphaeaceae is not an ancestral condition for the clade.

Actinocephalus is a genus of plants in the Eriocaulaceae, first described in 2004. The entire genus is endemic to Brazil.
It was formerly regarded as part of the related genus Paepalanthus, but recent studies have suggested that the two groups are better separated. (from Wikipedia)

Inside the tree, hidden from the outside, is a beautiful microcosm of colour and life. You can't see it in this photo because they're so small and fast-moving, but the tree had dozens of Hummingbirds flitting back and forth within it. I've never seen so many Hummingbirds in one natural place before.
A close-up view of the very top flower on the orchid from the previous shot.
We had seen this orchid very early on in the trip but on subsequent walks down the Medieval path, we did not notice it again until near the end of the visit, by which time more of the flowers had opened including this one.

Chamaerops is a genus of flowering plants in the family Arecaceae. It contains only one species, Chamaerops humilis, variously called European fan palm or the Mediterranean dwarf palm. It is one of the most cold-hardy palms and is used in landscaping in temperate climates
Los antófilos (Anthophila, griego ‘que aman las flores’), conocidos comúnmente como abejas, son un clado de insectos himenópteros, sin ubicación en categoría taxonómica, dentro de la superfamilia Apoidea. Se trata de un linaje monofilético con más de 20 000 especies conocidas. Las abejas, al igual que las hormigas, evolucionaron a partir de himenópteros aculeados. Los antepasados de las abejas estaban relacionados con la familia Crabronidae y eran depredadores de insectos. Es posible que las primeras abejas se hayan alimentado del polen que cubría a algunas de sus presas y que, gradualmente, hayan empezado a alimentar a sus crías con polen en lugar de insectos.1
Hay muchas más especies que aún no han sido descritas. Se las encuentra en todos los continentes, excepto en la Antártida. Están en todos los hábitats donde hay plantas con flores (magnoliofitas o angiospermas). Están adaptadas para alimentarse de polen y néctar, usando el primero fundamentalmente como alimento para las larvas y el segundo como material energético. La especie más conocida es la abeja doméstica (Apis mellifera), a veces simplemente llamada “abeja”; esta especie es un insecto social que vive en enjambres formados por tres clases de individuos: reina, obreras y zánganos;

Stamens:
Each angiosperm, or flowering plant, grows in a singular form that distinguishes it from other plants. The lily’s structure evolved to attract insects that are active when it blooms. As the lily bud ripens, six long, pale filaments rise from the meristem, or base of the flower. As they grow, they each broaden into two long chambers at the top, completing the stamen's structure. Within those chambers, cells divide and create sporogenous matter. This matter creates sticky orange, brown or black pollen, which contains sperm, destined for the adjoining pistil or an ovary of a neighboring flower. As the flowers open, two chambers, called anthers, teeter atop the stamen’s filaments, producing pollen that coat their exteriors. Take care: Lily pollen stains easily and, with other parts of the plant, causes digestive upset in humans and renal failure if ingested by cats.
Measuring Success:
Each lily flower has six stamens and one pistil. There may be as few as three or four giant blooms on an oriental or Aurelian lily -- or dozens on a martagon or tiger lily. In a thick stand of lilies, fertilization may be highly successful, producing three-part pods on more than half of the flowers, each chamber containing a viable seed. Where only a few plants grow, less seed will develop, but all seeds will grow in three-part pods. Once eggs begin developing, pollen production ceases and remaining pollen dries up on the anthers. Stamens whither and drop away from the growing seed pod along with the sepals and petals.
