Revenge of the Purple Passion

Jun 04, 2012 | From the kitchen of Rose

Purple-Passion.jpg

After having written about how my ancient purple passion plant rarely ever blooms and when it does it is only one set of blossoms, low and behold, the plant burst forth with innumerable blooms some of which have already gone to seed and resemble the white tassels pictured here.

And as further flaunting I've discovered that the flowers have a noxious aroma. But I'll still welcome them any time they feel like blooming they are so special.

Oh my! I haven't seen, or thought about, that plant since the '70's during my "plant fanatic" period (didn't we all!?!). Mine, also, had many blooms filling the room(s) with it's peculiar/unpleasant scent! The flowers, I remember, were always a pleasant surprise, however. Thanks for the memories!!!!

Ovbiously it's a coincidence. But some times plants behave like if they pay attention to our words or thoughts.
