Passionate Flower
…
Right here in my little corner of temperate geography,the first bloom from my Passion Flower vine,planted late in the season last year,struts its eccentric self.
Lucky me!

 Bean Head … Here come the Romas! These are the very large,flat,meaty beans that are so delicious steamed with butter,salt &pepper. I was first introduced to these beans by an elderly Italian man named John,who,along with his wife Lena,tended a jaw dropping acre of vegetables. Whenever I plant,harvest and eat these gems,I think of them.  Dicentra spectabilis-Latin for "Remarkable" … New to my garden,is this delicate and tender plant. It is blooming right now under a sweeping double purple lilac tree in the front yard. Bleeding Heart also goes by the name Lady’s Locket,Lady’s Heart,and Lyre Flower. If you bend back the little lyre-shaped petals it will reveal a tiny,slightly scandalous Lady in the Bath (another common name). | |||
