I just moved into a new studio on one of the cool, misty hills in San Francisco. It happens to be a really great place to grow Tasconia passionflowers.

The garden has a lot of beautiful vines, but my favorite is the Passiflora parritae which I've only ever seen once elsewhere, in the Strybing Botanical Garden in Golden Gate Park.

As far as I know, there was only one collection ever made from the wild. When they're open the flowers are very large and flat, when they're closed, the buds look like crazy squid-like balloons hanging from the trees.

Passiflora parritae

Passiflora luzmarina

Passiflora antioquiensis with a bee.

I've planted up 20 seeds from the Passiflora antioquiensis (the fruit was delicious) so maybe eventually I'll have some to share.
