In bloom, today only!

Passiflora "Lavender Lady"

They only stay open one day, so catching them is a treat. i have had this particular plant for almost 2 years now and this is her first bloom.

The other of my 6 varieties of Passiflora have not bloomed yet except for Lady Margaret that bloomed late spring of this year:

Our wild ones here have more white on them.

it looks pretty similar to P.incarnata other than the extra purple color. :)
