Honey bee (Apis sp.) helps pollinate this flower- yellow sac on legs are collected pollen.
EDIT [22/01/13]: After 3 years I finally got the right ID for this insect: Tetragonilla atripes

Great shots of such a pretty flower (the 1st shot with the pollen-laden bee is spectacular!) We have a type of passionflower in my area, too. I have some pictures of them here.
What beautiful pictures you've shared with us.
Wow, these look so awesomely beautiful...I like the macro shot, hairs are noticeable.
Stinking or not, that's a great flower.
These are incredible, the flower is unusual to me, very exotic and extremely beautiful. The bee is a wonderful addition.
