One Flower per Day - and One Day per Flower - _TNY5510

I used to have a Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa all over (i.e. under) the ceiling of a room. It was eleven years old and I grew it from seeds, but in the spring of '12 I cut it back too much and killed it.

 

After that summer I was given a significantly smaller (but still pretty large) Passiflora x violacea "Eynsford Gem" which immediately threw up some nice flowers (as per this photo).

 

"Eynsford Gem" is actually a hybrid of P. caerulea and P. racemosa and sometimes known as "Lilac Lady".
