This is probably not a Megabloom but it has the mutated flower you see in them. Notice how the anther cones curl and are mishaped. Because of this the style and stigma are sticking clear out of the anther cones. Instead of the pollen being forced to come out across the stigma, with this flower it can fall out before it reaches the place it is supposed to go. Megablooms have even more twisted and mutated anther cones. Just shaking or vibrating the flower may not be enough to get it to pollinate.
