You might ask, &#8220;why is it named that?&#8221; Well, the Chocolate Flower actually smells like chocolate! On warm, sunny days, it will fill the air with fragrance. It does not taste like chocolate though&#8230; I tasted it and it was not a good experience.<\/p>\n<p>I found this flower while walking around at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center this week. It was backlit by the sun which showcased its structure and brilliant colors. For those of you that don&#8217;t know, July 28th was Lady Bird Day at the Wildflower Center. Most of you probably know that Lady Bird was a champion for Texas Wildflowers and we owe a lot to her passion for this beautiful part of nature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14229\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20180725-lbj-wfc-ap01-edit.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"14229\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/chocolate-flower\/chocolate-flower-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/20180725-lbj-wfc-ap01-edit.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1125,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
