Hiding...

We have these vines in our field. They are known as "Maypop Flower" or "Passion Flower". They produce fruit that can be used to make jelly.

Nice! Maypop is a common name I hadn't heard before.

We have these Passion flowers too but I have never heard of them growing in fields or anyone making jelly with them…I have learnt something today.

Thanks for you visit and nice comment.
Great shot of this nice speciment.
Holland has a big trade of plants and flowers from all over the world.
I did had once one with flowers as big as a dinnerplate. https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1AVSA_enNL446NL446&source=univ&tbm=isch&q=giant+passiflora&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDxYbtnrHxAhXtMewKHVF0CEoQjJkEegQIGhAC&biw=1684&bih=981

These are so interesting to look at. Good shot. We should have them around here since they grow as far north as southern PA but i have never seen them except in photos on this site.

Neat lavender variety I haven't seen before.

I didn't know that jelly could be made from passion flowers. (I presume that's jam in English?)

Beauty in all stages.

@rhoing Thanks, Thom! I'm learning this is known by several names around the world and comes in many variations.

@happypat These are wild and with their development of seeds, continue to spread.

[GaryW]

@pyrrhula Good to hear from you! So interesting to see plants from around the world.

[GaryW]

@randystreat Thanks, Kathy! These are the only ones I have seen around here and I have no idea how they got started where they are.

[GaryW]

@sherimiya Thank you, Sheri! I do like their color.

[GaryW]

@jon_lip Some do make "jelly" which is strained juice so there is no fruit pulp. Our "jam" has the pulp. :- )

[GaryW]

@taffy Thanks so much, Taffy!

[Margaret Brown]

Such a pretty colour and capture

[Pyrrhula]

@thewatersphotos Thanks. Most are pretty easy to buy in our country.
