Thank you! They're quite spectacular flowers -- teacup-sized, with leaves the size of dinner plates. One of the tour guides told us the seeds are eaten for medicinal purposes, and we saw vendors selling the seed pods. Those were a couple of inches across, so either they grow bigger after the petals drop, or they came from really, really big flowers.
