Passion Fruit flower

The plant(s) I had was grown from seed which originally came from UK. We grew it against a wall which had not many places for its runners to cling to. Consequently they fell to the ground and climbed up anything (and everything) that they touched.

It took me several days to disentangle the plant from our lemon tree which in itself was a painful exercise. Lemon trees have some very sharp spikes on their branches, as I'm sure you know.

oh this is bringing back memories Peter and pretty bad ones .
I forgot to mention that between the grapevine and the pasiflora plant I have a rose tree. You can just imagine what I am about to say won't you? LOL. For the branches to reach the grapevine they had to go through the rose tree, and those spikes "ouch".

As Peter says, this variety (P. caerulea) does not produce edible fruits, no matter where it is planted. It's the only variety hardy throughout the UK. I'm sure you could get away with P. edulis in Spain tho!

Thanks for that, I'll look out for some seed.

See what you've started Amin, and you thought you were just taking a photo.

Welcome to gardeners world everyone, from a photographers point of view, of course.

Amin, you're clearly having as much success as a gardner as you are as a photographer. I'm four hundred miles north with a north facing garden that slopes steeply from the house with eleven post mature trees in it. Maybe I should start taking macro pics of moss

"Taking note of the name of the seeds" I wonder if I could get it to grow in a greenhouse. Got plenty of space in the backyard.

Peter, your fault you see? And it all started with the simple correction of the term applied for my image .

By the way, its amazing what one sees or learns to observe when we get immersed into this fantastic field of photography. The number of times that I have looked at things, and never noticed the beauty that it exudes until I start looking through the lens. That's how I came to notice the passion flower that has been growing in my back garden for the past 8 years now. It had to take a Pentax in my hands to finally stop and appreciate it fully .

Moss is a truly excellent macro subject. We don't get any here, too warm and dry, even in winter.

Even that was accidental, I wasn't intentionally criticizing your spelling.

A Pentax . . . and a fabulous Pentax macro lens.

Ken, thanks

I think stepping into the world of photography has opened up my horizons, fascinating stuff been happening really . And I swear I am not exagerating. I wake up in the mornings with a million ideas cooking in my mind .

Oh and gardening? It has become so much interesting now . By the way, I have figs in the garden that gives figs twice a year, it has been the envy of my neighbourhood , for the past four years it just gives loads of sweet fresh figs , and guess what I have planted and this year I should get some nice fruits from it? nesperas, again sorry if this is not the term known or the correct one, but I saw it here link
Should be getting some this year from the tree I planted a few years ago

The locals grow Nesperas around here too, but they cover them and their fig trees with nets to stop the birds (and me) gorging on them.

I've no idea what they are called in English, or even if they have an English name. I suspect they are a tropical fruit that doesn't survive that far North.

Stunning macros, Amin. Love the flowers and I had never heard of the term "stacking" before and I've seen a lot and done a lot of macros! Could you fill me in on the technique?

The handheld shot of the hoverfly is quite an amazing feat, too!

Focus stacking and the software to achieve it is explained here.

Thank you for the info, Peter.
