Plant Families: Bignoniaceae and Boraginaceae
Bright colors, aggressive vines and five o’clock shadows hold sway this week. Reds, oranges, yellows, blues and purples all blossom and bloom, decorating the landscape with festive abandon. Coiled tendrils unwind, grasping onto absolutely everything they fall across. Plants, hairier than my Uncle Paul, wear their flowers like gaudy costume jewelry. Many of these wildflowers, if not well known, are certainly recognizable by sight. Some even turn up in the garden. So what are these, these hirsute plants, these plants that won’t let go, these plants that flash us with bold colors, bugger the trench coat?

Something Science Fictiony about Passionflower
I don’t know if I can describe the blossom of a Passionflower (<I>Passiflora incarnata</I>). I can tell you the plant has lot going for it. It has an edible fruit, and has been a favored herbal tea. It has a long history in herbal medicine. It is a host plant for the larvae of a half-dozen so butterflies. And those indescribable flowers make it a gardener’s favorite when there’s a place for a climbing or trailing vine.
