Honeybee on a rain-wettened pink passion flower

Blooming pink passion flower and two recent blooms balled up into fuzzy seed cases. On a background of wet green leaves.

This honeybee was working in the rain this morning on this pink passion flower(Passiflora foetida) native to south Texas. Its growth habit here in S FL seems to be less aggressive than in its native range. It’s a host plant for our native Gulf Fritillary butterflies. 🌱 #FlowerReport #BloomScrollomg

A paphiopedilum orchid in bloom with two flowers open on a single stem. The orchid is growing in a terrarium with moss and a wood background.

A rare double feature,

two blooms open at once on this Paphiopedilum.
