Flowers of Matucana haynei have the characteristic asymmetrical shape seen in majority of Matucanas. Like most of asymmetrical cacust flowers they are adopted to be pollinated by hummingbirds. It would be nice to capture a Californian hummingbird on Maticana flower, but so far I was not that quick with my camera. But from the look of it - they are sure made for each other, Matucana flowers and hummingbir beak s that is.
