Image #1: Two flowers of J. quipuscoae grown in the same greenhouse at the same time. On the left, during the pistillate phase the corolla begins to turn purple. On the right, hermaphroditic phase flowers have turned purple. Nectar darkens with age too, appearing orange-red during the pistillate phase (usually day one) and then darkening to purple.
