There is a flower in the Snapdragon family named "death rose". In ancient times this flower was thought to have supernatural powers. It offered protection from witchcraft and was believed to restore beauty and youthfulness. As it begins to wither and fade, the center of the flower looks like a skeleton. It is so cool! The purple silk thread in this design was made especially for Death Rose by Treenway Silks. Gorgeous! and the purple pearls change to green in different lights. Really Spooky!
