Beautiful post! I remember seeing one of these flowers at school, I have no idea why that memory stuck, but it did. Where I live now, these flowers are all over the place! I recently found out that if you took out the middle stem, there should be a clear liquid, not very much, but if you drink it, it's very sweet and a good replacement for ice cream. (Just kidding, ice cream is always the best. :P) Keep up the good work!
