Baobab flower - something we rarely see. Such a beautiful flower.

At the beginning of the opening phase, insects are busy visiting the flowers. In Zimbabwe, rose beetles can be found either enjoying nectar or nibbling the white petals. In the Venda area in Limpopo / South Africa Hawkmoth were attracted to the flowers – there they help with pollination. In other areas, bats and Bush Babies pollinate the flowers.
