Description

Passiflora, known also as the Passion Flower or Passion Vine, is a genus of about 500 species of flowering plants, the namesakes of the family Passifloraceae. This was definitely a vine and climbing all over the place. Info from Wikipedia. This photo was taken in January 2007 at a local botanical garden and before I started posting on Renderosity, thus my wifes hand holding up a drooping bloom. My old Minolta. Do Zoom. Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated. Dana
