Default A Gift From Mother Nature

My beautiful but invasive Passiflora sends runners everywhere. I've been trying to keep things under control by digging and potting them as they appear. In spite of my efforts I discovered that one runner escaped my attention and is now growing and blooming among the branches and blooms of a Bougainvilla. I love the combination of flower textures and contrasting colors...all courtesy of mother nature.

I agree the colour contrast is wonderful. The flower is really pretty even if it's not meant to be there.

I agree the colors are great. I removed a very large Bougainvillea because it made me bleed just looking at it. It was a real love hate relationship.
