Funky.
Different.
Cool. Strange.
Stunning.
All words i use to describe flowers that are just, well, FUNKY! not your "run-of-the-mill" typical plants, these plants STAND OUT and say "LOOK @ ME"!!

| 2008 Passiflora |
Each growing season i look for one that says that to me...it has usually been a Passion Flower. I can't get enough of their intoxicating fruity scent, and crazy, fake-flower looks. Couldn't find the variety i usually get last year, so i ended up with different plant...the Spiderwort (but MINE was PURPLE). here are some pics of my past passion flowers, and last years spiderwort that i grew in a container.
