my mom bought me this bouquet, and in it were the neatest flowers. before blooming, they resemble a chinese lantern flower, only it's not the petals showing at that point but leaves that envelope the actual flower. they're green and speckled w/ dark purple (kind of like certain lettuce??). and they point downward. only a couple of them bloomed in the vase, and i'm not sure if it was just partial or not. but anyway, as they bloom they push through the leaves. the ones that bloomed began to tilt upward in the process. the NEATEST flowers. really whimsical. if you could help me identify them, it would be great!! oh yeah, i have a pic, too. not the greatest quality, but
