Note.
We've guessed at the common (English) name for this flower. Andrei Samartsev from the Bonch-Bruyevich University in St. Petersburg, Russia has provided some good help, including two excellent Flora links (Mary's Gardens and Warp Zone -- Links-Nature). Mary's Gardens lists the Religious name as OurLady's Hens.
