i shot it today at the Ballard Locks English Gardens, I have NO clue what it is.

Good picture and interesting flower. Wish that vertical leaf wasn't there though.

Wonder what it would look like in HDR...

I agree, I wish those random leaves weren't there, or that they were more consistently framing the flower. that vertical leaf is definitely an offender here. I'd suggest trying to get the leaves out of the way and going for a different angle so the flower isn't so centered.

It would probably look weird

d'oh! i didn't even notice that leaf!

a friend from Hawaii told me it's a "passion" flower. GIS reveals TONS of colors and varieties! they are super cool.

Ahhh... so that's what a Passion Flower looks like. My dog takes Passion Flower herbal pills to calm her seperation anxiety.

Moseley has separation anxiety too, but not bad enough to get pills.
He's just crazy excited when I get home...

We have destruction issues with Chance, our greyhound. The pills take it down a notch, but it's still there. I refuse to sedate her. Because of their institutionalized life as puppies, retired racers are the king of SA. I've tried all the training methods available, but even some of the books I've read talk about greyhounds being the most difficult. All of our door mouldings in our house are F*%#ed.

Yeah, I completely understand (and agree about not sedating). I'm just lucky enough Moseley doesn't do anything more than bark a bit out the windows when we're not home (when people walk by the house, he never barks when we're home...) and get super excited when I get home. He's a Boston Terrier so it's expected. He's my boy though so I'm not as strict with him as I should be to deter his jumping....

There is a book I can send you that seems pretty good. It didn't work for me, but it was a good read. It basically talks about breaking your routine. Find things that might trigger the anxiety of you leaving, then do them at random times to keep them guessing.

I hear you about being slack on discipline. I'm guilty of that.

Keeps ours in their "houses" when we go places. They seem to like it in there
