Study of Guara, Texas Flowers

Can you believe this flower is native to Texas? Guara, to some almost considered a weed, blooms at dusk. Many flying insects are crazy about this flower because of its strong scent. It's just so odd to me. The flower itself doesn't show odd characteristics, but the stamens seem so strong in number. The odd bloom protruding so far way from the center of the flower just seems very awkward to me.
