Passion Flower of the Passion Fruit Vine


Isn't this a gorgeous flower? Oh, the colors!
It comes from the Passion Fruit/Passion Flower plant, well it's a vine actually - and I hear it can be quite invasive. This image comes from a friend who has a large Passion Fruit plant taking over her yard. By the way, the Passion Fruit plant is also known as Passiflora edulis and is native to Paraguay, Brazil and Northeastern Argentina and is widely cultivated in frost-free areas for its fruit and the juice derived from that fruit.

Just thought I'd share this stunning masterpiece of nature with you...
I hope you are all having a great Thursday so far, may the work hours fly by at the speed of light! It's almost Friday, yay!
