The Tale of The Passion Vine

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!!

My Passion Flowers

I love just about any flower on a vine!

I put up the trellis for the vine to grow on. I was trying to contain it as it is ill mannered and pushes the other plants out of the way.   I really wanted  something that would block off the side of my porch to make me feel more secluded.  But I didn't have a way to bring lattice home.

My Passion Vine comes up every year in even more places.  It is quite plucky!

But it flowers more on the "other" side.  Not the porch side.

Isn't it beautiful?  I am amazed every day when I see it growing in my garden.

Join me visiting Tootsie and her Friday flowers!
