After crossing Kukenan river on the way to Roraima, I noticed a bush growing among the boulders by the river. Only a few flowes had opened, and they were poorly placed (high) for a photographer.
I never cut or remove anything I photograph, as I want to photograph nature as it is. I had to bend the branch holding the few opened flowers while shooting, which actually prevented it from swaying in the rather persistent wind.
Native range of mahurea exstipulata subsp. extipulata is the Guyana Shield.
