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.
