Passion-fruit fragrance is subtle but very pleasing

The Passion-fruit (passiflora ligularis) flower stays for just one day. It will wilt at the end of the day.
This time we have 7 or 8 flowers blooming at the same time and the fragrance in our balcony is unbelievable.

It grows well in a pot. It appears Hawaii has the right climate. It is late August now and it is in full bloom.

Some pictures are here and more to come.

This the bud of the flower and it will bloom today or tomorrow



This flower is butting against the ceiling.

The creeper is a habitat for many insects and geckos. Birds often visit to munch on them. The next video shows a bird trying the pry out forcibly the strands in an artificial rope used to tie the support for the passion fruit creeper. Probably they use in building the nest.
