My photograph of an Incense Passion flower has always gotten the most puzzled looks over the years at shows. People would pick up the photo – look at it – and look up at me – and ask What is it? I didn’t even need to see which photo they were looking at – from their reaction – I knew it was my Passion flower photo. I’d explain it was a passion flower – and they would say it looks more like a space alien or a sea monster than a flower. So since then – I’ve been keeping my eye out for more passion flowers to photograph.

Recently, I had the opportunity to photograph some Lady Margaret Passion Flowers. Passion Flowers are easy to spot – there is nothing else that looks anything like. The Lady Margaret Passion Flowers were much smaller than the Incense and Ruby Glow Passion Flowers I’ve photographed in the past. The petals on the Lady Margarets hung down rather than stick straight out. Photos I’ve seen of Lady Margarets do show petals in other positions that I saw – so it may just be a matter of timing that determines their shape.

I hope you enjoy my photos of the Lady Margaret Passion Flowers
