My parents make me happy
A passionfruit flower from Jan and John’s backyard. These are my favourite flowers in the whole world and not just because they turn into one of the world’s great fruits.
Isn’t it fabulous?

I just wish I was back home to see it.

Um. yeah, i guess if you’re into that sort of thing. that flower kind of makes me feel alone in a world of incomprehensible strangeness. but beautiful strangeness. i think.

Kadie-wa: Any type of flower is mind-boggling if you are isolated in a foot of snow and cloudy weather for an extended amount of time. I love passionfruit!

Actually we have 3 inches of ice pellets (not snow) on the ground. All night I thought there was a mouse eating my caramel chocolate kisses because it sounded like the wrappers were scratching together. But, no, it was (and still is) merely the sound of ice pellets striking the side of the house.
And the passionfruit flower made me smile. I will try to schedule for the sun to make an appearance today, but I think it is having a sick day. : (

i love passion flowers. they remind me of my oma; she had a pressed one at her house when i was little.
quite pretty colors and a strange little tenticle-type center.

Pretty flower, excellent fruit, but I also have to agree, it looks like it wants to reach out and eat me.
