Your garden is simply gorgeous! Your flowers are beautiful! Thank you for all the lovely pictures that you took the time to take - nice to see others posting pics too.
I was so happy to see your passion fruit - I just got some seeds this season for it, and the vine is really taking off for me indoors right now! The flowers are supposed to be huge (big as dinner plates), followed by the unique looking fruits - I can't wait. I am going to put the vine outside in early May, to grow on a big fence. Seeing your passion flower/fruit pic, has really got me excited about mine!
I see that you like to feed the birds? So do I, and last year I attracted a northern flicker (Canadian woodpecker), as well as a family of 12 Blue Jays everyday! I also had cardinal couples, doves, red-winged black birds, hummingbirds, gold finches, and house finches too! It sure was fun watching them all with my binoculars.
Anyway, your yard is very pretty - looks like you put a lot of thought effort into making your surroundings very inviting and welcoming. It makes me want to visit!
Thanks again for the lovely peeks.

I know! I can't wait to see them. I wonder if there are different kinds of passion flower vines, or if there's just one...

Their are lots of different passion flowers by my back door which is to the side of the house i have a fenced in area and i have recently bought two different species of passion flower to ramble around i like them as i like the flowers .They seem to grow ok in uk when i was at last house i had a greenhouse and used to grow my own but now i look for plant bargains.I have also bought a kiwi tree as its warm having walls in the garden so i thought one may do well here the walls will be covered in no time as i am planting all the time to cover them. I scattered some seeds two weeks ago and they have now germinated loads of little seedlings appearing by july it will look like a jungle out their..HOPEFULLY !!!!!!

Oh now I am excited! Here is my little passion flower seedling vine now, just a short time later! It is really taking off. I also noticed how woody the vine is - it's standing up completely on it's own! Notice the three smaller seedlings in behind the vine...I will separate them today.
Thanks for the info wf
