Passion Flower

It has been a very busy day today, so all I have is a couple of photos of the two-flowered passionflower (Passiflora biflora) from a couple of years ago.  The flowers and fruits come in pairs (surprise!).  Even the little yellow spots on the leaves are in pairs.  They are nectaries that attract ants.



There is a little ant at the nectary at the leaf base just right of the flower.
