There are wildflowers blooming now that I haven’t seen since I left Florida in 2009. Purple Passionflower is one of those flowers, so I had to take some photos.<\/p>\n

Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> and I were walking in an area of the refuge that has frogs, snakes, butterflies, moths, bees, and more, including these passionflowers.<\/p>\n

Of course, I simply had to stop and take photos of this native flowering vine in bloom. The large, intricate flowers are quite eye catching!<\/p>\n

Purple passionflower blossoms can range from almost white to deep purple. My photos show the differences between two individual vines and the coloring of their blossoms.<\/p>\n

Meandering on foot at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> was wonderful. I will be sharing more photos from that walk soon.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
