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

Slowly the white petals of the calyx appear from their tight sheath. Gradually the pistil (corolla tube) shows. It is slightly longer than the petals. All attention needs to be directed to the flower: once it is ready, the petals unfold within seconds – almost as one would open an umbrella! A fantastic sight. Thereafter, the inside of the flower with the stamen is visible.
