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 is the Guyana Shield.
