I was driving up the road looking at some deer in the field and discovered these Passion flowers growing on the fence row. I had to go back and get my camera. It doesn't get any more natural than this.
< p>Look at the bumble bee on this one.
Do you see the big seed pods, about the size of large lemons.
You all have a great day on this first day of September. Bill Mitchell

Well,Bill, that is the exact passion flower I have-I have never seen mine make a seed pod, much less one that size! I have lots of vine this year, not much in the way of flowers.

Gorgeous flowers ! Beautiful photos ! Have a good rest of the week, Bill ! Your friend, mitzi Yes, Witt, I looked it up and Maypop is a common name for the Passionflower.

So beautiful!! Amazing they are wild..sure would love them at my camp of 12 acres. Probably would take years to grow from seed?? Have a sparkling week!
