some call me brian
not really but i had a Pereskia diaz-romeroana and a Passiflora coriacea in bloom today so i thought i'd post a few photos.
the Pereskia diaz-romeroana is from a primitive genus of cactus before cactus lost their leaves. it comes from Peru and Bolivia, i believe.
here is the flower
here is the flower and a nickel for scale
here is the Passiflora coriacea, Bat Wing Passionflower which is native from Mexico to Bolivia
a view of the inflorescence, it's a sequential bloomer....
and a shot of why it's called the Bat Wing Passionflower (that may or may not be the same nickel on the right in the trellis)
[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]fyi: why it's called a passion flower. has three stigma like three nails, five pollen sacks like the five wounds, an egg shaped thing between the two represents a sponge {he said he was thirsty and they soaked a sponge in vinegar and gave it to him} and the yellow frilly thing is representative of the crown of thorns. they were used by missionaries to teach people about chrisitianity....[/FONT]
