Passiflora incarnata


Passiflora incarnata is a perennial climbing passionflower native to the central and eastern United States and Bermuda. It spreads from a persistent underground system and climbs by tendrils. Its flowers have pale purple segments and a conspicuous corona of crimped purple-and-white filaments. The plant later produces an edible, egg-shaped fruit commonly called a maypop. Photographed in Florida.
