I do not know what it is, but it's interesting.

thanks. I have searched and searched hopefully someone here knows what it is lol

Hi there. I really don't think that what you have is a flower, per se, but a bud where future stems and leaves was coming from. You may want to try the many sites offered by the Missouri Department of Conservation and affiliated groups. http://www.missouripla​nts.com/index.html

I've asked several people at the MDC about identifications, and they are always happy to send you to the right place. We are truly blessed to be living in a state that is so active in trying to educate the public about conservation, flora, and fauna of Missouri. You also can get the Missouri Conservationist for free if you have a Missouri address. Great monthly magazine!! http://mdc4.mdc.mo.gov …ations/conmag/c​onmag.aspx

I'm not positive, but could it be an Ohio Buckeye bud? I looked through my "Shrubs and Woody Vines of Missouri" and then online, and I wonder if this could be it? http://www.flickr.com/​photos/jklsemi/1291112​04/

I would love to see what it looked like once it was totally unfurled. I guess another question would be is how big was it? That could be a clue as well. http://www.flickr.com/​photos/maren6300/47080​7758/

Maybe this will get you on the right track!!

Great picture - whatever it turns out to be
