This flower is called "cockscomb." Personally I would have named it "hirsute cortex" or "hairy brain." Not the most attractive of flowers to my eyes, but certainly interesting. Looks either like a brain or a ball of caterpillars.

Giraffe Pattern - Captured at Taronga Zoo, Sydney, Australia.
Learn more about the Giraffe:
The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land-living animal species, and the largest ruminant. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 1,700 kilograms (3,800 pounds). The record-sized bull, shot in Kenya in 1934, was 5.87 m (19.2 ft) tall and weighed approximately 2,000 kg (4,400 lb). Females are generally slightly shorter, and weigh less than the males do.
The giraffe is related to deer and cattle, but is placed in a separate family, the Giraffidae, consisting only of the giraffe and its closest relative, the okapi. Its range extends from Chad to South Africa.
Giraffes can inhabit savannas, grasslands, or open woodlands. They prefer areas enriched with acacia growth. They drink large quantities of water and, as a result, they can spend long periods of time in dry, arid areas. When searching for more food they will venture into areas with denser foliage.

Once this small hospital somewhere in Italy was a shelter for children that were suffering from lung diseases. The remote location in the mountains and the numerous surrounding forests are providing healthy air which was necessary to treat tuberculosis and other diseases. In the 1930s this facility was opened.
The property with lavishly laid out garden offered enough space for a great number of children. This was a facility of the church, so especially nuns were nursing the sick.
