Passion Flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I first heard that it sounded sooooo sexy!! Then I read it had to do with the passion of Christ!!! like 12 petals for the apotstles, 5 thingy mabobs representing something else and 3 thingys at the top for the father, son and holy ghost!! (Sorry, flunked catholic school )
well i went to catholic school for 12 years and didn't remember anything about that flower, so i'm a major flunkie hahaha very neat flower!
SPECTACULAR!
i LOVE passdion flowers...so bizarre/beautiful!
i too had no idea they had to do with the passion of the christ...and i graduated a catholic HS...hell, i even taught in a catholic school for 10 years. :eek: yes, i know...how scary for the kids. hahah.

You don't even have to be Catholic to appreciate this one.
Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School.
Usually she slept through the class.
One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping.
'Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?'
When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear.
'God Almighty!' shouted Mary Margaret.
The Nun said, 'Very good' and continued teaching her class. A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret, 'Who is our Lord and Savoir?'
But Mary didn't stir from her slumber Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt.
'Jesus Christ!!!' shouted Mary Margaret and the Nun once again said, 'Very good,' and Mary Margaret fell back asleep.
The Nun asked her a third question...'What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'
Again, Johnny came to the rescue.
This time Mary Margaret jumped up and shouted, 'If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'
Ta love. I get so frustrated with the Kodak. It's great for candid shots, and great because you can just keep it in your handbag and snap away when opportunity presents itself, but I did photograph a whole bunch of shots of the garden with a fabulous camera a few years ago and I was amazed at how fabulous the garden looked! Much better than reality actually!
That image is just so tranquil, and reminds me of a place in Tasweegia, called Strahan. Just beautiful.

How beautiful is jasmine chiq? I love the stuff! My fav is frangipani, but mine hasn't flowered this year yet. When it does I'll try to get a pic of that.
Jasmine on a summer night or frangipani or gardenia, just magical the fragrance!

This is my favorite thing to see around my birthday, coz it's so beautiful, smells devine, buzzes with bees AND it means that Winter is over!
