Hier: Diese Eiskristalle auf dem Wacholder. Durch den Reif auf der Oberfläche schaut die Pflanze aus, als würde sie aus lauter kleinen Edelsteinen bestehen. #winter #natureismagic

Zinnia elegans - assorted

Zinnias are a warm-season annual flower. They are easy to grow from seed, and also widely available as nursery starts every spring. They come in so many colors, shapes and sizes that there truly is a zinnia for every garden. Along with being beautiful, they are always abuzz with pollinator activity.

The colorful bouquet in my photo features a selection of flowers from my community garden plot. The coral and pink bloom is a Cactus Zinnia; the green bloom in the bottom-right corner is an Envy Zinnia; the pale pink and fuchsia blooms - and the almost completely hidden orange bloom - are from a mixed seed pack. The yellow flowers are actually coreopsis that self-seeded into my zinnia border, so thank you wind and wildlife for the gift!

Passiflora Incarnata - Purple Passionflower aka Maypop

The Purple Passionflower resembles a plant from Hogwarts, and the Latin name, Passiflora Incarnata, sounds like a spell. In addition to being covered with otherworldly blooms that draw butterflies, bees and hummingbirds, the perennial vine produces delicious fruits the size of small owl’s eggs.

I started my passionflowers from seed in 2016. They were floriferous and fruitful through November 2020, but didn’t re-emerge as expected in the Spring of 2021. All that remained was the photo in this post.

Seasons passed with no sign of the vine, so I was thrilled to discover the familiar tri-lobed leaves climbing my fence again in July of 2022. My passionflower had sprung to life after 20 months of dormancy.

Renneverate!

Nature is magic!

Thank you for your selfless service,
for giving for the hive until your last flight was spent.
Thank you for your abundance, your misunderstood gentility,
your armoured beauty, and the sweetness you brought to this world.
May your petaled flight be perfumed with purpose,
back to your winged-Queen Goddess Melissa.
