Belamcanda chinensis
This plant attracts a huge diversity of insects that come to feed on its nectar.
I found this specimen in the garden of my grandfather, a region next will rangelands and native forest.
Despite insects enjoy their nectar, the taste is not pleasant for humans...
I grow this flower in my yard and it is so beautiful. And then when it goes to seed the cluster of black seeds looks like blackberries (where it gets its common name). You can cut it and use it for ornamental arrangements. An all-around lovely flower.
