From my Great Aunt Myra Baldwin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 1943 diary, I came across this pressed flower. The Hoosier weekly newspaper editor was visiting her brother \u00e2\u20ac\u201c my granddad Charlie Rush, the UNC head librarian \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and my grandmother Lionne, the WWII curator of the Rare Book Room, when she picked \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and then pressed in her little pocket diary \u00e2\u20ac\u201c this flower. Still lovely after all these years. So Ken, help us out here. What is it?
