Someone gave me a few loose passion vine seeds - I was expecting purple blooms. Buds initially started out purple when quite small, but became green as they became bigger, so I knew they wouldn't be purple - didn't know what to expect then color-wise. Holy smokes - I'm blown away by the coloring! I don't know how well the color will show on computer. The petals alternate having a subtle green tint, subtle purple tint - sort of opalescent.
I noticed the bloom late afternoon yesterday, and grabbed my phone to take pix (honestly, my phone camera is better than my very poor actual camera)
I noticed the light was low, and did sort of wonder how that happened so quickly, and was it really so late ? Ha! Eclipse had started
So, photos taken under odd eclipse light
I'm wondering if this plant might bear fruit ... Have to just wait and see, I guess...
It's a rather straggly looking vine, but I think the blooms will make it look much nicer!
Thanks for looking
First bloom on passion vine I grew from seed
