Passiflora: The New Star in My Garden


I was so thrilled when my husband bought me this new addition to my collection. I fell in love with passiflora the first time I saw it in a park, and I never thought I would have one in my own garden.

There's a small dead tree by the fence near my vegetable garden, so I let my new vine crawl on it.I believe it will not be long when it covers the whole tree and provides shade for the gardener.

I cultivate my garden, and my garden cultivates me.

    These are totally amazing--so unusual and so beautiful. I'd be happy too if those were growing in my garden! Mickie :)

    Wow, how I love this plant. I've never seen on in nature, only in the pot. It's a spectacular vine and you've captured the flowers very beautifully.

    WOW! That is a gorgeous flower. When these have completely covered the tree? Going to be something quite awesome.
