A Few Passion Flowers

By Pattyhankins @PattyHankins

Passion flowers are always fun to photograph. They all have common elements – alternating petals and sepals (all about the same size), the corona with radiating filaments, and the raised stigma, styles and antlers. Microsopy-UK has a wonderful page describing the parts of the passion flowers in detail -and shows them under a microscope. But even with all these common elements – each variety of passion flower looks different from the others.

Here are a few of the passion flowers I’ve photographed
