Bees nest flower

This bees nest flower on our walk the other day caught my eye. Every flower on the plant had a single red floret in the centre.
Amazing how there is just one red flower among all that white and on the same plant. Very unusual for me and the red flower with yellow inside looks more like a Mandevilla flower. Makes a beautiful shot, though.

Amazing! How weird. I wonder if it is a mutant, or just a different variety than the usual. Great photo though.

@sangwann @tinley23 @joylay @ninaganci @cupofteajudy @koalagardens Thanks all for your comments & favs on this. I did a bit of research on this and it's also known as wild carrot and the single red flower is really a thing!

Great close up shot. Looks like a Queen Ann's Lace, which is also known as wild carrot.. They have the little bit of red flower in the middle. https://www.ediblewildfood.com/queen-annes-lace.aspx
