This was. Taken a few weeks ago. This flower has grown along with the wild grass on the vacant lot next to ours. There are a lot of wild plants that’s been growing there, actually. Now that it started raining again, I am expecting to see more in the coming days.
This flower may be wild, but I think it is quite beautiful. A wild beauty, I say.
I never knew the name of this flower actually… Until I used a technology that’s already on my phone.
I have used the same technology to identify different species of insects.

I love this flower, one of my many favorites.
Really. Most people tend to ignore it since it’s growing in the wild. But it is indeed beautiful.
This is Passionflower. They come from North America, South America, Australia. More than 500 species are known. Several Latin American countries are arguing for the homeland of the passion flower – Argentina, Brazil and Peru. There the density of wild vines of this genus is greatest. Catholic missionaries in South America are considered the godfathers of the flower of passion. The name comes from the Spanish “pasión” – “passion flower”, as the missionaries called it in honor of the Passion of Christ
Hmm, I never knew about that… Well, I didn’t even know the name of this plant until lately. Thanks for the interesting background info about this plant.
a weed, just a plant that no human planted but a beauty none the less
So true, doc. It grows in the wild but it is quite pretty.
there are some weeds that are more beautiful because they are weeds!
True. I saw a wild lantana yesterday. I’ll post a photo of it later.
those are the best – there are raised on my afternoon walk path, i pick one for my wife almost every day
