Payung-Payungan

These tiny flowers are related to the Black Bat Flower, but are found in the Philippines!

This is Payung-Payungan, known internationally as Tacca palmata. But they go by other Filipino names too, like kanalong, magsaloro, tungang-basing, and unodunod.

If you take a closer look, the flowers have beautiful complex shapes. This helps insects stay inside them longer to pollinate them!
