Somehow missed this one yesterday, nice find! Did you know they flower for a single day? Posted 7 years ago

  I did not! I'm waiting on the yellow passionflower (Passiflora lutea) to bloom on our land! I'm so impatient! Posted 7 years ago

    Can you believe that stack I recently did, where for two weeks in a row, each day I'd look at that flower and think: as soon as I have time, I'll stack you.
    
    In reality, I was looking at a different flower every single day. It just happened to be that on that plant, every day just one flower bloomed. Such a mind twist.
    
    Anyway, be sure to check every day, that's what I'm saying. Posted 7 years ago

      I am going to try my best! :D I haven't been over to the land in a couple of days, but we will be headed over tomorrow to check on things (and hopefully get a short hike in). Posted 7 years ago

      Still, really cool that you stacked multiple flowers and pulled it off! Posted 7 years ago
