I confess, I made a boo-boo...I accidentally pulled this little guy off when I was looking today. Since I have never seen a bloom before and unfamiliar, I simply thought this bloom was a dud...why you ask? Well, when I saw it I was in shock! Then when I touched it, it felt like paper and empty inside - then I tugged on it and it gave way. Well, I am sick over it now because I know he was definately not a dud. You see, what I did not know is that the flower part was up high inside....

I opened it up and this is what it looked like inside....


Facts known:
5 stamens
5 corollas
