I Have A Passion ... The Flower of Passion!
We are the people of passions, innumerable and various passions lead our lives. Beauty comes from diversification.
I have some normal passions: music, film, photography, cooking, gardening ... I think they are common with your passions but I also have a strange one.
The Flower of Passion ( Passiflora )
Passiflora is a climbing plant and there are over 550 species. The best known is the passion flower or the passion fruit.
This is a plant that lives in the Mediterranean climate and does not withstand low temperatures in winter. Because of this, it does not grow in my country, Romania.
I saw this flower for the first time in the city of Sozopol in southern Bulgaria. A city on the Black Sea that I really like, a city that was built by the Greek navigators in antiquity.
Here I saw the first flowers climbing on fences and houses. I instantly developed a passion for this flower, even before I knew it was called the Passion Flower.
That happened several years ago. Since then I have been left with the desire to have this flower in my garden as well. It didn't happen until this year that I found myself buying from a flower shop.
This Sunday my Passiflora bloomed for the first time! The fact that I finally have this flower, the fact that it bloomed make this Sunday beautiful and sublime for me.
That's why I want to celebrate this day with some pictures with the first two flowers that made my day happy and fueled my passion.
For flower lovers there is a challege where they can post the best photos, #AlwaysAFlower, hosted by @dswigle. The best photos with your favorite flowers, a short story and a tag. An easy and enjoyable way to write a blog. Sunday is a special day of the week and @ace108 and @c0ff33a have initiated #beautifulsunday and #sublimesunday especially to gather these our weekend stories. Thank you all!
As long as we are threatened by this invisible enemy, it's good to protect ourselves!
Wow the flowers is lovely.
Thank you!
Welcome.
That's really an interesting looking kind of flower.
So you get the reward for your hard work.
Wow! That’s a very big bush of Passion flower tree with so many flowers! Nice view on a beautiful day!! Should have a glass of cool wine!!
I love passion flowers! I had a purple passion vine growing up the side of my chimney and along the back fence line in my house in Texas!
I don't blame you for loving them. The white is beautiful and the red don't seem to be prolific, but, the purple burst with vigor, every single one I have ever seen! Yours is absolutely stunning!
I may have to get another!! Thank you for visiting @alwaysaflower!!

Hello dear friend @bluemoon
I live in South America Corrientes-Argentina. Here these beautiful flowers abound, here they are known as mburucuya. its fruits are exquisite.
It is common to see on the fences of the land, they are ornamental and decorate any forgotten corner of the home.
Beautiful shots
I wish you an excellent afternoon
Thank you! I like Argentina, we are Latin, Romania is the only Latin country in Eastern Europe but you, of course, know that.
Thank you for telling me the name of the flower, it is a very special flower and I am convinced that where you live it offers a wonderful view. I hope I have some of that too.
hello dear friend @bluemoon have a good day.
In the province (Corrientes) where I live, this is a very popular plant, full of mysticism. We are descendants of an Indian community and they did not instill that everything on earth belonged to this world before.
There are several legends that speak of this flower. I leave you a link to one of them. you just have to add it.
A pleasure to have found and read your post.
Until any moment
