Another blessing of the rainy season is the flowers it brings. The vine-like passion fruit growing on ourback fence started out as little shoots in cups that we transplanted last June. They barely hung on through the dry season, but with some nurturing and fertilizing, they survived. Then the rains came, andnow they have taken over the back fence, covering it with a green carpet of vines. Their subdued flowers (pictured, left) don’t attract much attention from people, but do draw an array of butterflies and other pollinators. Once pollinated, they have begun bearing fruit; at first, one ripe passionfruit here or there, but now, an entire sink-full (see picture above). What are you nurturing right now? Praythat the Lord of the harvest will bring it to fruition.
