@Lee: Thanks much Lee.......before I went to Butterfly World a few years ago, for the very first time, after being back in Florida for almost 10 years....I had never even heard of Passion Flowers.......when I first saw then at BW, I was outright amazed!!! And being the sharing person I strive to be, I figured if I didn't know about passion flowers, probably lots of others didn't either.....and this is a great place to share info on these different but beautiful flowers.....

Get Down! Nice, Susan. This transports us to this alter-reality.
