Close-up on the center of a purple gloxinia flower. Three filaments are joined by their anthers on one side of the center style and stigma, and four are joined on the other side. With the filaments arranged in a circle at the base of the style. The center of the flower is white with berry-coloured dots with a hot pink rim, and the petals look like a berry-coloured galaxy.
