This Passion flower is not all that it seems..

Back home and on my walk, a bush hung out over the road with lots of tiny white flowers. I did get a photo but then came upon this flower in amongst.. its a passion fruit flower. Some types of this flower can be a weed and grow to choke the tree that they are on. I haven’t told anybody yet. You can actually see the new fruit behind.
Thankful for:
Safe trip home and the roses are blooming!

Good to hear you're back out walking again - you'll be pleased about that. Oh no - not the dreaded banana passionfruit?

[Maggiemae]

@dide I think it is, Dianne! This fruit eventually turns yellow.

[Corinne]

superb !

[Corinne]

I just noticed i wasn't following you anymore and that explains why i didn't see your photos, i must have push the following button by mistake ;)

Lovely clear shot of the Banana passionfruit.. they can be a bit evasive.. but nice flowers..

[Judith Johnson]

A lovely delicate flower

[Judith Johnson]

I put in a new passion fruit this year, Constance Elliott, a pretty white flower. I was hoping it would fruit but sadly not.

[Pam Knowler]

Such a pretty flower. Not heard of this passion fruit plant.

[Babs]

I do hope it isn't regarded as a weed it looks so pretty.

[Denise Wood]

Lovely :)

[Casablanca]

It is so pretty. Shhhh, I won't tell......

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

beautiful flower

[Sue Rose]

A lovely shot with pretty bokeh too

[Maggiemae]

@cocobella I must have done the same thing!! Nice to see your name again!

[Maggiemae]

@casablanca Actually this is really an invasive plant - it will eventually strangle its host! I'll keep an eye on it.

[Maggiemae]

@yaorenliu The true passionfruit is hard to grow but this one is called yellow passionfruit and is really an invasive plant, Yao!

[Maggiemae]

@busylady The purple passionfruit is hard to grow here too, Judith. It needs exactly the right conditions.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Some call it Tom Foolery- but Vikki Summerfield labeled my composites and editing "Ann Foolery" one time and it stuck.

Pretty little invasive!

[FBailey]

How very pretty

[Islandgirl]

Looks very pretty and love the bokeh!

[Faye Turner]

Wonderful capture

[Francoise]

Interestingly gorgeous pest.

[Maggiemae]

@francoise It is a pest, Francoise - but the fruit is rather nice!

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful flower. I’ve never had the fruit. Love the comp, details, and colors.

[John]

A very pretty flower. I wonder how the fruit got it’s name.

[Maggiemae]

@congaree What an interesting question, John! I'll have to research!

[Marnie]

So long as its not in your garden you get to enjoy it!

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic This growth is on a fence that surrounds a large timber yard, Marnie! Nobody but me would take any interest!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae That's great MM. If my ageing memory serves me right, I used to eat banana passion fruit in my youth.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic Actually that brings back a memory too when I grew up! There were these sort of passion fruit in the wild hedge on our border where we made tree houses!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Wasn't it fun when we were fit enough to make tree houses?

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I made houses in hedges (holding up a potty to the next door neighbour), underground, in a tree overhanging the footpath when I dropped things on passerby!

[Louise & Ken]

I am SO happy to added this with a tag! I was unaware of how many different passion fruit existed!!! I'll be a happy camper to have my one type and happier still they they're plentiful!

[Maggiemae]

@Weezilou I planted one of the good type of passionfruit in our garden, Louise, and 2 years later, it's hardly grown and looks very raggedy! Give a lot for one flower like this wild one!

[Louise & Ken]

@maggiemae This one cost about $30 and came from a nursery/ It took off immediately! I'd been paying $12 for 5 at a farmer's market, so I'm quite hopeful that this one will continue to grow happily!
