IT'S CALLED THE PASSION FLOWER....

So I've been intrigued by this one particular flower for the past year. Refer to this entry. Ever since I saw one in the NY Botanical Garden, I've been thinking about where I could even find one. My BFA topic was even inspired by this flower (as you can see below).

























This past week, Dean texts me a picture of it. Oh, no big deal. He has some in his backyard. So he brought one back for me. I love it. It's so beautiful. I'm trying to figure out a way to preserve it. Or maybe press it? That makes me nervous though....

EDIT 7/1: The flower started to close after one day so I decided it was time for me to pry it open and press it. It is being pressed currently. Pictures to come....
