In my defense, I photographed this in the UIC College of Pharmacology's Medicinal Garden. Its "medicinal" qualities presumably include opiate derivatives.

It's also been raining for three days straight (no relation to Hannah or Ike, I don't think... the radar map shows a giant cloud spreading from the west), and I could use a little sunshine in my life. Couldn't you?
