A Solanum species flower…

I expect this to be “Solanum lycopersicum,” a species in the Nightshade genus. This particular species of plant is cultivated for its red fruit and is probably better known as “tomato plant.”

Great focus. Nature is so clever with colours. Green and yellow do look great together.
