OMG such stunning pictures in this thread! Kudos Miss S/Tom, GreenGo, GardenBoy for all the amazing birds and butterflies and everyone for the gorgeous flowers. Even your currants have stunning flowers! We are too far north for hummingbirds, and our currants have very modest greenish white flowers pollinated by wasps. Stunning tropicals and southerly things... thanks!
Passion fruit btw, is one of the marvels I encountered as a girl living in South America. Maracuya, my absolute favorite tropical fruit ranking just ahead of mango for OMG delicious. I never saw the vine in person though! nor even dreamed that the flowers could be so beautiful. Best of both worlds, I hope you all get fruit because it is so worth it.
