Beautiful capture! I go through ‘love affairs’ with types of plants, and went through a major passiflora phase a few years ago, purchasing all sorts of unusual species and cultivars. While I did end up with some crazy vines that I had to remove (one kept trying to sneak into the house via the window, I swear), I still have a few plants scrambling up the fence, trees, etc.
I too, love passiflora of all types, plus the Mayapples I found wild in TN. A week after this photo, the caterpillars had loved it naked, with only a few leaves left. Hope it lives!
How neat to see the native passifloras in their natural environment!
I love those spiked gulf frittilary butterfly caterpillars as well (my gravatar photo is a gulf frit butterfly sitting on my finger)…the vines around here usually recover with little trouble, and hopefully that will be the case for yours as well!
