Picture from the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. The journaling is a quote from A Midsummer Night's Dream about how a flower got its power to make people fall in love:
And the imperial Votress passed on, In maiden meditation, fancy free. Yet markt I, where the bolt of Cupid fell. It fell upon a little western flower; Before, milk white; now purple, with love's wound, And maidens call it, Love in idleness.
