passion vine

Passiflora

Description:

growing in my yard. Passiflora, known also as the passion flowers or passion vines, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae. They are mostly vines, with some being shrubs, and a few species being herbaceous. For information about the fruit of the passiflora plant, see passionfruit. The monotypic genus Hollrungia seems to be inseparable from Passiflora, but further study is needed.

A brilliant series of photos that have captured the beauty of these flowers. I love the ants in pic #4. Excellent work, Susan.
