Passion in the Garden...

Passion Flowers, that is.

It seems to be a small theme, this year.

First, our daughter got one, for her new/old garden.

She texted me this picture.

It's the purple variety...but, a bit different than some I've seen.

So, when we were down there, she and I took a trip...two whole blocks...

to the local garden center, to get one for me.

No purple left.

So, I got a Scarlet Passion Vine.

I like it.

It's not as hardy, though. I may have to treat it like an annual.

Then...the other night, when I was doing the evening Garden Walk,

I noticed a bloom, on the fence in the Fenced Yard.

Small blooms...

I'd left this vine, when I cut things back on this fence.

I'm glad I did.

Turns out, it's a Wild Passion Vine.

Passiflora lutea.

The blooms are only the size of a quarter.

But, they're very interesting.

That vine has been on the fence for a couple years.

I never noticed any blooms.

Don't you love GOOD garden surprises?

And, I guess you could say we have more results of

"garden passion".

Yep...this year's crop, is showing up.

Hope you have a good weekend.

We're forecast MORE rain.

Happy Gardening...
