We visited Amsterdam this week and saw a flower growing on the street
It has several layers and I can’t imagine it being real
As pictured, clearly it’s the most amazing flower imaginable
And no google searches turn up anything. Help! We just want to know wtf this thing is (to maybe plant some and blow someone else’s mind while they walk by)

Mission accomplished! Thanks you guys, these are going in the garden along the sidewalk next year!!! Also, who downvotes passionflowers?! :)

Annihilation is a very good/unsettling book...perfect EcoGothic horror

After a visit to the coffee shop and smoking some of the other flowers - I could see why this one would look amazing

Annihilation = Amsterdam? Hmm.

Passionflower. They grow wild here at my house. Cut off a piece, they are pretty easily transplantable.

If you pop it off the stem there is sweet fluid in the base

I grow them on Eastern Long Island. Good stuff, hate to lose the flowers, but the fruit is really good.
