The condition of the plants in the rainy season is very different than during the dry season. During the blooming season, trees provide shade and the plants are well hydrated. |
| The easiest way to travel in this part of the country is along the rivers by boat. The C. violacea blooms in the rainy season, when most of the lowland in the southern part of Venezuela is under water. |  |

C. violacea in full bloom in the middle of the rainy season, just on the river side. |
| South of Venezuela, in the Amazon and Bolivar State, in up to 500 feet elevation (above sealevel) are the perfect habitat for the C. violacea, always along the river, where they get enough moisture during the dry season. |  |
