Flowers and other Flora

This one is also "love-in-a-mist" (Passiflora foetida). Fruit and flower. Pretty common here...

The fruit looks like something from a horror movie...
Nice photos though

Yes, it does! But they are suppose to be edible (I never tried one, may be one day...) and the birds love them.
Here is something more ordinary...

I really like the flower. Simply beautiful.

My favorite from the Passion fruit flowers (between the 4-5 species we have here - incl. in the rain forest!) is the Passiflora edulis. The flower has an impressive size - up to 7-8cm in diameter! When I saw my first Passion fruit flower (it was on Hawaii ~ 20yers ago and it was this species) I was thinking about a book that I used to read (few times) as a student: "The Day of Triffids" by John Wyndham - for European guy they look pretty exotic and strange!
And yes - they are beautiful!

"The Day of Triffids" is a fun book.
