Passion Flower

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly our whole life would change." 


Passion flower is known for its 3-D design with striking and coloured filaments circling a central and exotic arena. These alluring flowers attract a number of butterflies and insects. Their glossy leaves offer a defence mechanism to protect from bugs. When an insect nibbles the leaves, they release chemicals that combine to produce dangerous cyanide which kills the pest. The fruits produced are edible though not very flavourful.

A tryst with nature #Passionflower
