[ATTACH=full]1277[/ATTACH] This is a picture of Mitella diphylla, or ''bishops hat'' which is a common name for the plant. [ATTACH=full]1278[/ATTACH]

There is also a cactus that uses the name as a common one. That plant looks like this......
[ATTACH=full]1279[/ATTACH] This is an Astrophytum myriostigma which does resemble the hat a bishop would wear.

This will be where the confusion lies between the two names, and [USER=7]@Meadowlark[/USER] has the same flower as [USER=28]@Anniekay[/USER] which is commonly known as Turks cap, and its name is Malvaviscus.
There really is a very good reason to use Latin plant names, as they don't lead to the confusion.
I really think you two have the same plant. Malvaviscus - commonly ''Turks cap''

I think I had better enrol as a trainee rocket scientist
