I think the passionflower comes from S America originally. I did not realise until a few days ago when some one comented on a flickr photo that it fruits in England and can be used for making Jam! This one seems to be flowering rather late in the year though.
Nice passiflora photos Mary - as a tip Passionflower images look great printed on canvas for some reason. I don't know why but they just really work well. The fruit of this species don't taste too nice imo but a few of the others are lovely.
these shots are great - the colour and details are much better ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs this indigineous to England this flower?
Fantastic photos Mary! You definitely get passion flower and of course the very yummy fruit in Australia as well - well in Perth anyway!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful and delicate flowers, indeed...
ReplyDeleteI once had one plant that had a couple of flowers... but it died... maybe because of the frost...
