Very beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Actually after opening the picture and zooming in further the label does appear to be closer to stigma .....which is at the tip of the style, which is far shorter than the adjacent stamens... probably nature's creation to avoid self pollination. Also seen is a small pollinator sitting on one of the anthers. Satish
