My passionflower vine or "maypop" has just gone crazy this year. It must be covered with 100 buds and they have just started to open.
These vines grew wild down the street from our house in Atlanta when I was a little girl. They produce a round fruit that is edible or better yet, makes a big "pop" when you stomp on it. Guess which one we did as little kids.
The flower is so unique, I love it.
Oh wow you have one of these plants! I saw this plant at a small garden center and thought it was so pretty and usual. I just love how it looks like it should eat you or something.

Wow, that is so exotic and tropical. I have never seen anything like that up here. I wonder if we are in a zone that could handle it? Just gorgeous!
