This is my new favourite flower discovery … the Passiflora Caerulea, or the Blue Passion Flower, native to southern Brazil and Argentina.
Isn’t it gorgeous? I think I saw this the last time I went as well, but I don’t remember it looking like this – I would surely have remembered it this time around. Here’s a view from the other side …
… and a profile view …
LoL … you know that I’m obsessed with this now …
I finally got out of the way and let other people take their turn for their pictures. Walking on, I climbed up the stairs to a landing … and found this again …
I don’t know if this was a ‘younger’ bloom, or maybe in the late stages, since it didn’t have the pinkish petals. I think it’s a younger bloom … this looks fresher, and there’s a bud behind this one, almost ready to open …
I sure wish that I had a green thumb, then I could try and grow these in my garden …
I have the white one with blue centre and now they are going to flower soon! 🙂 I picked up a seed pack from garden centre and they bloom the second year from seeds. Fast growing! You can grow them from cutting will flower soon.
Nice! I will pay more attention now to the seed packs when I go to the garden centres. Maybe it was there all the time and I didn’t notice it!
It is so easy to grow them, you should definitely grow few! 🙂
