The link should be a picture of the flower. It is a climbing plant that grows like a weed in south Texas. The picture of the flower on the ground was all I could get before the camera batteries died or I%26#039;d have the flower on the actual plant with the leaves to help identify it.





It also apears to really like lightbulbs that are not the kind that are made for plants because it is growing up through the walls and into the house.

Can you identify this plant from its flower? It is a creeper of some sort.?
it is a desert creeping purple fashion low ground cover..

Reply:IT%26#039;S A PASSION FLOWER. THEY GROW WILD IN NC ALSO. THEY DO VINE---PUT UP SOMETHING FOR IT TO CLIMB ON AND CUT IT BACK


TO CONTAIN IT.
Reply:this is a lovely plant it also grows in Lebenon, the ones in lebenon are more vibrant colored. in common terms it is called the clock flower, or atleast that what me and my friends call it. the real name is passion flower. it has a huge mass of necter, whenever we wanted yo pick one we had to be really careful, so the bumble bees don%26#039;t attack.
Reply:Looks like a variant of Clematis
Reply:I just found this on the web. It is a purple passion flower. I didn%26#039;t go into really reading about it. I thought that the picture was a joke at first. It looks like something out of a scifi movie.
Reply:That%26#039;s a Passion Flower! Aren%26#039;t they beautiful? I saw one up close for the first time when I went to Greece. I wish they could grow where I live!
Reply:That%26#039;s a flower? Wow! A real beauty! I thought it was a man made accessory type of thingy.

Reply:I have no idea, living in canada I%26#039;ve never seen anything like that, it does look pretty cool though.
Reply:I believe it is called %26#039;Love in a mist%26#039;. Don%26#039;t know the botanical name for it though.
Reply:that flower is a passion flower. it is also called the crucifixion flower if you want more info on it let me know . I have many of them . and yes it is a vine,a tropical vine at that. I live in south florida and I have alot of exotic,unusual,rare and just plain weird plants.
Reply:It is maypop. here is a link for some further information. http://springhillnursery.com/product.asp...
Reply:It reminds me of a passion fruit vine (passiflora edulis). Do a search on passiflora pictures it may be the passiflora x violacea.
Reply:It is a passion flower and is perennial in warmer climates. It is fast growing and will cover a trellis in no time at all.
Reply:It%26#039;s a one eyed one horned flying purple people eater. (The wings and horn haven%26#039;t sprouted yet.) Give it a few more days.
Reply:wow - that%26#039;s amazing. I have no clue at all.
