Kathy, I think, by its shape of the flowers and the leaves, that it's a cultivated species. The non cultivated species are worldwide used for medical purposes, esp. for making medicines for people who are dealing with mental problems. Wonderful capture anyhow!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

Oh, hey, I was expecting to see a big ole mole on the old man*s nose, with several long hairs growing out of it. Instead you give us a lovely yellow blossom, open and loaded with delicate stamen, next to an example of what the flower looks like when it is closed. How dare you take the classy approach to this presentation? Jeez Louise!
