How do you select a favourite? I could easily have gone for broccoli, a delicious fruit, a humble plant, an elegant bird, or a graceful old tree... but this time I've chosen pure flamboyance!
Passionfruit flowers:
They're just so crazy.
I included a passionfruit flower that's native to this region in this painting of mine, along with a great quote: "People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us." I think that sums it up for me.
This week's topic from Cloth and Fodder.
I've been a bit quiet here this week. We've had a friend staying with us, so we've spent the week eating and swimming. It's been lovely. :)

They are amazing. I don't think I have really seen passionflowers - I must find out more about them. Thanks for sharing all the beautiful photos.

How beautiful! And I agree, it was hard to choose, and I hadn't even thought of broccoli :)
Love those flowers. Love the painting, and love the idea of a week of eating and swimming.

They are truly stunning! The house on the corner has a vine so I am forever hovering around it!
hey mine too they remind me of medalas ( i hope i spelt that right?)
hey ya, we have the middle centre one in the backyard - when we meet in real life i can show it to you- but you can't pick them or they die so when we have them i am constantly going out to peer at them- I love them and a friend of mine has a giant paninting of one in her cafe in SYD.
I hadn't seem so many passionfruit variations of colours and shape!!
The flowers are completely crazy and beautiful.
Thanks again for your wonderful talent because I just received 3 of your postcards from my sweet niece Natalie. I especially love the woman with all the hair.
