That is awesome, what kind of flowers….
It’s a purple passion flower, also called Maypop. This one’s not in my yard but close to the Menil Museum/Rothko Chapel.
A beautiful and most unusual flower, but if it started growing here would become an invasive nuisance much like we’re having with honeysuckle on my yews along the drive.
HONEYSUCKLE IS NEVER A NUISANCE!!!!!!
It is if it makes you sneeze.
Does your honeysuckle attract a lot of bees or butterflies?
I usually get it weeded out in early spring before it starts blooming. My main bee attraction are the six Rose Of Sharron shrubs. Five of them are over six feet and have been loaded with blossoms since April. They attract the bees from dawn to dusk. The butterflies don’t show up until mid- to late August.
And those shrubs are beautiful, too.
