Re: OT: Need help with flower identification. Urgently!
Hi Bob, Thanks for the tip. It does have a stamen and pistil like the Passion Flowers that are illustrated on those pages. However, none of those are hardy enough to survive here in Michigan where temperatures usually drop to -10 F in the winter. Of course there are many varieties that aren't shown on the pages. I think the climate rules out orchids as well. The lily family is a possibility. I think the leaves and stems are similar to some lilies. But it remains a mystery.

The stamen and pistil anatomy is pretty characteristic of Passiflora. I did a quick Google and found this page: http://www.passionflow.co.uk/species.htm You can go through the species list at the top and see if you find this exact one.

Thanks Stan. That makes sense. The leaves are spikey like an oriental lily.
