This Beautiful flower grows on a vine. There are hundreds of varieties and they grow very well here in Florida. They attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. I have them all over the fence in my Butterfly Garden. 

Passion Flower is a nectar plant as well as a host plant — You will get the whole METAMORPHASIS with this plant! Gulf Fritillary, Julia’s and Zebra Long Wings just love to visit these amazing flowers. you will get all of these amazing “WINGED MESSENGERS”.

These beautiful, incredibly complicated blooms last only ONE day. Just goes to show that every day truly IS a “LIFETIME.”

    I really appreciate this web-site. It's great to have some place to go to find out what's happening for our community and YOU have provided it. Thank you so much! I just read this quote from Hellen Keller that I would like to share: "A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships." We've all experienced hardships, but have we learned from them and become stronger and therefore better people because of them? Food for thought to challenge and encourage our positive attitudes toward hardships, I think. Thank you again, Suzy. I look forward to meeting you some day....and I will, no doubt! Take care and stay well. RP
