Passiflora

[changeling67]

About a month ago, the passion flower outside my porch began to grow inside the window.  I was going to snip it back, then decided to let it grow - with the full intention that, come September it will be pruned within an inch of its life.  It has flourished beautifully this year, both inside and outside the property.  Today, one of the bigger flowers came out in boom. I just love the way that the fronds have secured themselves around the available objects in my porch - below is an owl pendant of my mother's which is too flamboyant to wear, but looks really pretty hung up.  The stem has grown and latched itself around many things and looks how you would imagine the beginnings of an enchanted forest to be.

I think flowers are wonderful. <3 I like black tulips (they are called Queen of the Night or something like that. =D

Black tulips are stunning - I must admit that where I am (far south west UK) we are able to grow red and yellow ones, but the other colours don't seem to take so well :-)

I like yellow tulips, a guy from school gave me a few. =)

Down one of the back lanes which runs off the road which I live on has a Passiflora grove that runs down the back walls of over 15 houses. It's gorgeous in mid-Autumn.

Just re-reading that sentence makes me realise how Cornish dialect I am first thing in the morning.

LOL - great to hear the dialect whatever time of day. I will wait until mid autumn then, before I trim it back. It has gone a bit crazy this year :-)
