Oh, what a beauty!

My beautiful double lotus has not made an appearance for quite a while, that I had forgotten how utterly captivating she can be. I am so happy that she has come for a short stay. With the kind of wind we're getting today, her petals will all probably be blown away by tomorrow. So I'll just treasure these shots I have taken today until she comes back again on another visit!

The Fruit Of My Passion

This species of passiflora bears green fruit, but I am not sure of the identity of the plant . I have requested my fellow passiflora enthusiasts on  Passiflora-Passion Flowers Online to help me with the identification.

I don't know which I love better, the fruit or the flower! The fruit juice is ever so refreshing and zesty! The flower is ever so exotic and incredibly endearing. That is the allure of the passiflora!
