Near Orosí, Costa Rica. After the flower has shed its petals the sepals turn red, as seen in the background (which confused me at first - two different flowers on the same plant?).
Suggestion by someone else:
Ludwigia peruviana (Poir.) H.Hara, Onagraceae

On my talk page I got the following reactions:
Hi Dirk, this plant is definitely of genus Cornus. I only don't know the exact species. The four large yellow leaves are no petals but bracts that surround a cluster of tiny and greatly reduced true flowers. The whole thing is called a “false flower” (pseudanthium).

Not at all. This is Ludwigia peruviana. --Franz Xaver 22:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
You take your pick. :)
