My passion-fruit vine has been flowering since December. I am so proud. It has been growing for 3 years now and this is my first season of flowers and fruit. These gorgeous flowers have a strong, sweet musky scent and the fruit is huge, purple and full of deliciously fragrant pulp. I wish I could share. The hardest thing now is waiting for the fruit to ripen! Also waiting to beable to have my favourite concoction – frozen passionfruit pulp and vodka! Yum!

It’s limbs lie low with lashing winds.
Prone it grows along the ground.
Blasted, blighted, stunted
By storm, salt and sand.
Creeping, crawling, crumpled
Like a gnarled, greened hand.

Above boy baby’s crown of curls
A wondrous azure sky unfurls;
Birds dart and call amidst the trees
Bright blossoms fat with humming bees.
Sweet, wet grass yields ‘neath his tread;
Small pink fist grasps flower head.
Red dirt stains knees and tiny lips.
Real beauty breathes; the rest eclipsed.
