Near Orosí, Costa Rica. After the flower has shed its leaves, it changes to the 'flower' below it (which confused me at first - two different flowers on the same plant?).

Original filename: 5844-2.jpg

Comment by Ies on my talk page (28 feb 2007): Hi Dirk, this plant is definitely of genus Cornus. I only don't know the exact species. The four large yellow leaves are no petals but bracts that surround a cluster of tiny and greatly reduced true flowers. The whole thing is called a “false flower” (pseudanthium).
