And here it is this afternoon in full bloom. The petals have actually folded back towards the stem.
In this photo you can see the entire plant which is on our porch out of the second story bathroom.
Courage, strength, fortitude. Power not arrested in the act of judgement, but passing on to further action, sometimes obstinacy.
This is a card of courage and energy. It represents both the Lion's hot, roaring energy, and the Maiden's steadfast will. The innocent Maiden is unafraid, undaunted, and indomitable. In some cards she opens the lion's mouth, in others she shuts it. Either way, she proves that inner strength is more powerful than raw physical strength. That forces can be controlled and used to score a victory is very close to the message of the Chariot, which might be why, in some decks, it is Justice that is card 8 instead of Strength. With strength you can control not only the situation, but yourself. It is a card about anger and impulse management, about creative answers, leadership and maintaining one's personal honor. It can also stand for a steadfast friend.

Wow Sue, that's an amazing bloom. I'm normally not a fan of exotic looking plants out of context but I'd make an exception for this one. Really love it!
'Course I'm a sucker for blue flowers anyway but this one really is spectacular.
Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Pick!
I think those are one of the coolest flowers.
Now that is pretty.
It`s gorgeous,Sue!!
Does it smell?
Thanks Dave and Damien!
Toni - Yes, but not as sweet as some of the other passiflora I own. It has a kind of a musky smell.
Gorgeous! I like the square pot that it's growing in too.
Thanks Stan! I got the pot at Ocean State Job Lots for 5 bucks. What a deal!
