We were walking along S. First yesterday when we noticed the unusual space age blossoms on this vine. I'm not much of a botanist, but the bees seemed to recognize it.
It is a passion flower -- passiflora caerulea. There's an interesting story about the origin of the plant's name at petalena.wordpress.com/2008/10/ (in the October 18 blog post).
