We have passion vines in our garden to attract gulf fritillary butterflies and a bonus is the crazy flowers they put out. Had really good wind and light conditions this morning so I got quite a few keepers. All comments welcome. >=))>

Love the complexity of the passion flower, its vivid colors and textures. You’ve done an admirable job of showcasing all these features. You have brightened my day!

Bill, this is certainly a fine presentation of this beautiful passion flower. The more I see of these, the more I am convinced that I should get one next year. I understand, besides being beautiful to photograph, that the hummingbirds love them as well. I love the colors and textures. Lighting is nice, and the angle that you shot it is pleasing as well.

Bill,

Wow, this is some fantastic and unique species - almost like something that come out of Willie Wonka’s garden… Seriously though, this is a wonderful capture. No nits or suggestions.
