Passion fruit, originally uploaded by malyousif. This passiflora really enjoys its new position, it’s mother plant died unfortunately, but from a little sapling, this thing is covering most of the wall.

This particular portulacas (the yellow and red) were just a couple of small cuttings only a few weeks ago, their growth rate never ceases to amaze me.
