A Gift Straight from GOD himself I tell ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know what I have done to receive such a wonderful gift as the one my husband found tonight while bushhogging them down LOL.

I'd have to say these are passiflora incarnatas growing here. some one correct me if I'm wrong. I'll be posting 4 or 5 pictures, to show you flowers, fruit, leaves and more fruit. I cannot count how many l00's of them, I have no idea where they came from, Everyone of them is so beautiful and healthy, so many flowers, and fruits, I feel like it's christmas!!! I'm simply blessed is all!

this is just a small area of them, close up,

Bad picture of the flower, there is some blue in the flower, it was getting dark and my camera wasn't doing the greatest job of taking close up pics here.

I can post more pictures of the flowers tomorrow too

here's a fruit,

This whole area back by the 4 wheeler and further over towards the fence is nothing but passiflora,


Please help me I.d. this as incarnata, I don't think I listed a picture of the leaf close up, i'll do that next.

You have been blessed, are they beautiful!!!

When something beautiful "just appears" I certainly do believe it is a gift from Heaven. Just looking at your pictures gives me a smile inside.

Looks like my incarnata Kathy.

Yes Judy, I knew right away, this was God telling me, Don't fret over other bad things.

Thanks so much donna for letting me know it was the incarnanta

Good for you! Isn't it great when you find a cool plant in the wild that you'd almost have to buy? I've got a vine of it that I started from a root cutting earlier this spring, and it's trying to eat my house now! I found mine in a ditch.

what a beauty. a blessing for sure.

Good for you Kathy! You'll have butterflies all over the place. We have them here, too.......growing all over everything. You will enjoy them a lot.

How much sun/shade are these wild thangs getting? Are all of them sprawling on the ground or are some growing vertically, too.

Maybe you can talk him into leaving a small area--these are host plants for lots of butterflies.

Sorry, I've been away, He's not bushogging any more in that area, he wouldn't have cut down what he did, if he had known what they were. their in full l00% hot sun, and all are sprawling across the ground.

Isn't the ability of nature to renew herself just amazing! Even under the most adverse of conditions--we've been having a drought down here this year and its like the plants are doubling their efforts to perform...I guess they, like us, often perform best under pressure!

Does seem that way doesn't it. LOL

It is very hot to move plants now, I suppose. But you have several so maybe you could pot one. Mark where this nice patch is and look for the young root suckers to appear next year. You can move them to a large pot or to your yard. The fruit is good eating.

I did dig up some today, and stuck them in water , I do know what you mean by not digging them up now, their wilted badly right now from lack of rain. We'll see how they do, I didnotice suckers all over the place, as I was digging them up, they were connected from the root. I'm going to put the sprinkler on them late this evening Too.

thanks again
