Passion Flower.
As I visit different blogs, I find that the Passion Flower doesn't always look like mine. Similar, but not the same!
My Passion Vine has become a very popular eatery in my neighborhood. These little critters are all over it and my vine is looking really chewed up!
But this is the reward!
A friend was in my garden a couple of weeks ago and she told me she felt like she was in a Disney movie with all the butterflies flitting about.
The two previous pictures were taken a little earlier in the season. Right now, I am getting the odd flower mostly up high where I can't get a photo. I am wondering just how long it will keep going with our cooler weather. And just how long is Butterfly season anyway?
Look!! This is a fruit (?) on my Passion Vine. Can you eat them , I wonder?
Love our long growing season!!

Howdy, this Ozark farm chick jumped over from Sandy's place and am so glad I did. We had a neighbor lady who broke a leg who was always sayin'..."I hate it with a purple passion." I searched high and low to find this gal a 'purple passion' to take to the hospital for her.
ReplyDeleteI found this info on the passion fruit. It is edible and this will tell ya how to harvest it and use it.

From the beautiful hills and hollers of the Missouri Ponderosa, ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day!!! :o)
I just love the unique flowers on Passion Vines. I did not know that the Butterflies liked them too. Just another reason to grow them.
