A Taheebo flower..

Lapacho or Taheebo is a herbal tea made from the inner bark of Pink Ipê, Tabebuia impetiginosa. It is also sold under more ambiguous and possibly misleading names like "Ipes", "Ipê", "Pau d'arco", "Ipe Roxo", or "Trumpet Bush".

Lapacho plays a central role in the herbal medicine of several South American indigenous peoples. Lapacho is used by herbalists as a putative treatment for cancer, HIV, and numerous other maladies. Studies by the U.S. National Cancer Institute showed that lapacho may prevent, delay, or treat cancer; but the oral doses needed to reach useful levels in the blood also cause severe side effects.[1] The active ingredients such as lapachol have been found to possess significant toxicity.

Hello Ollie. This camera can do wonders if you can get close enough. This is just stunning with pristine sharpness of the droplets. Superb macro and well done. Best regards. Jusni

I like it Ollie. Superb details. Great close up. Taheebo grows in my backyard here in Cavite. Sometime, I drink it as tea. Good job Bro.

Hi Ollie

A superb macro closeup of the plant, with nice repetition of the water drops, good reflections, & perfect sharpness. Tfs!

Very good! You're killing me! :) Excellent compo and sharpness!
Best regards,

Hi Ollie, great macro of fascinating drops with splendid details, good light and colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Ollie
You have managed to capture the reflection of the leaves on the water drops perfectly.
But the white stem looks a little off focus. But nonetheless a great Macro again.

Take Care
