I had a feeling the archive bug would strike!

For the second time, does anyone know what type of vine this is?

It also has some pods on it.

And one with the blooms in three stages from left to right. Look close now. First one is past bloom, second is in bloom, and the third is pre-bloom.

It's a Passiflora incarnata, Maypop Vine, purple passion flower.
Smack one of those fruits and hear it POP! LOL

Charlie,

Does this mean I can't eat it?

Is there anything you and Kraig don't have a picture of?

Yea, you can eat it, BUT!@!!!!!!!!!

You can eat it, but they sometimes BURN really bad, depending on the strain and location where they grow, LOL

I wouldn't!

The innuendo in this excerpt from the 70/100 brochure is the raciest stuff that I have and it's safe to post here or in the main forum.

Kraig,
I see nothing raciest in that pic unless it's the black and yellow thing, LOL

Here's my contribution to off color!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Charlie, "raciest" as in "racy" not "racist"...

This fellow usually perches on the fences around my back yard, but here he is on the recycle cans next to my deck. He doesn't pay much attention to the squirrels, but is watching the birds on the bird feeder about 10 foot from where he is, that has been taken over mostly by sparrows. Usually doesn't take him long to get his meal. I'm not sure what kind he is, looks something like a Coopers Hawk, but but looks to be a tad small for one of them according to my bird books. Anyone know what "brand" he is?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Paul, it could be a Sharp-shinned Hawk. They look like a Cooper's Hawk only smaller.

 

[dcalkins]

Paul B ,its a Merlin,there is a few in the Seattle area .and they will thin out the small birds fast .
