It's beautiful! Bet it would look even better at night (or do the flowers close?)

Beautiful Diane! I'm not sure if my passion flower survived our winter. I see some new growth near the bottom so I'm leaving it and hoping for the best. I just got it last year so I hope it makes it. My blooms were very strange, it would open up for a couple days then close back up until it died. Hope yours is better.

I'm not sure but even if it is it's worth it to still see the blooms.

Passifloras are supposed to open at midday until three and stay open for a day - that's what i was told. Linneaus proposed it to be used in a 'floral clock' because it opened reliably at 12pm where he was
