Passiflora caerulea is native to South America but it has been introduced to many other countries

mainly because of its intricate, scented flowers.

 If there is a supporting tree available, it can grow up to quite a few meters in height.

When I was young, I found this flower fascinating. Today, a few decades later, it is still one of my favourites.
I see it as an unquestionable proof that Nature’s creativity is unsurpassable!
