This one looks weird. It's a flower of the Purple Bell Vine (Rhodochiton atrosanguineum).

(Maybe this one should go into the 'Glamour and Nude' section.... :cool: )

I don't think it's related - they belong to different families. Made a Google search and found lots of info on this plant. Take a look eg. at http://www.rainyside.com …hiton_atrosanguineum.htmlif you are interested... My mother has had this plant during the summers for a couple of years. It's beautiful. In swedish it's called 'Törnrosas kjortel' which means 'The skirt of the Sleeping Beauty'

Wow, so that's what Sleeping Beauty had under her skirt! That poor prince he was in for quite the surprise.
