First passion flower


Passionsblume passiflora
Originally uploaded by Rainer Fritz.
Arriving home had a special treat yesterday; the first passion flower on my passiflora vine had burst open during the day! This plant has been doing very well, easily growing at least a foot since I started taking care of it on May 2 (there are marks on my trellis).

With good care the vine should grow at least as much again before it settles down to flowering for the summer.

Sadly I can't take credit for the photo... I did take a photo of it but this particular one isn't mine.
