Gregory’s favorite: Yellow Passionflower, Passiflora lutea

“Its hard to imagine a more elegantly whimsical plant to come across – from its softly curved baby mitten shaped leaves, its fine and delicate reaching and finely curved tendrils, the miniature but radiant vibrant green flower.

There’s something simultaneously simple but complex, modest yet showy, small but bold about this plant that keeps me admiring her. Always a serendipitous find in the wild.”
