I saw some very similar in Costa Rica. The leaves don't look quite right, but its a photo. I'd have to see it in person for texture and feel

Someone help with the identity...
Yesterday, I laid my eyes on this flower, for the first time ever. The magenta color and unique shape of the flowers was unique.
