This ‘Blue Crown’ hybrid Passion vine has surprised me again.
First surprise was that it survived the winter outside.
I actually noticed it growing during the warm patches.
Second surprise was that the blooms move the female parts up or down depending on some unknown reason. I am hoping GEORGE will eventually explain this.
Third, the vine has started producing lovely orange fruits for the first time ever.
My fourth surprise occurred when I opened a “pop” to discover…
My garden has been telling me things I need to know.
Maybe you need to know these things, too.
Things do not have to be perfect to be beautiful.(Glad with pink spot)
Share your harvest with your friends. (Eaten poppy seeds)
Just because it is not what you expected, does not mean it is not good. (Should be purple)
Sometimes you will need some support to stay up. (Climbing okra) Hang on!
Do not give up on things. ( I was going to take this hydrangea out for not blooming)
Not all queens wear crowns. (Sovereign Queen daylily) and Shrub Queen
“Pests” can be adorable. Love them instead of killing them. (Baby grasshoppers)
Some friends can pick your favorite flowers for you because they know your heart.
Changing Latitudes (from Joyce)
Even when you don’t feel it, there is still some magic nearby. (Fairy garden growing without the fairies) I miss my magic.
One little thing can make a big difference. (This is a Passion fruit from my Blue Crown Hybrid Passion vine. I first saw it in Italy covered in its gorgeous blooms and orange fruits. To see it in my yard is a thrill.)
Everyone needs at least two bunnies. (Barley and Charlotte)
Waiting for a sign is worth it.
I have been waiting for the Eagle for years. Yesterday, he came to me. (Thanks Linda)
