Pasiflora

[Greg Fountain]

I just planted this Passion Fruit plant and was surprised to see a couple of blooms, especially since they generally don't do so until spring. I typically would pick the flower and do a focus stack with proper lighting, but was afraid to do anything to stunt the growth of such a young plant.

Just gorgeous, both as an image, but especially as a flower. Glad you did not disturb it and looking forward to more images from this beautiful plant.

That is definitely a cool flower! Welcome to the board!

Very nice introduction - welcome aboard. You did a really nice job on the focus stack and for the record I prefer seeing them still on the plant

Thanks Alan, but to clarify, this isn't a focus stack....that's what I usually do and why I bought this plant!

Thanks Darcy. This is the first one I've tried to grow. I know they can get pretty gnarly when they take off and frequent maintenance is required. All worth it since I've never been able to find these flowers in a florists shop....
