Passion Flower

[fossis]

My nominee for one of the most beautiful
flowers in nature.
My eight year old Granddaughter came riding
up on the four-wheeler to show me this, & I told
her the name.

They grow wild in these parts, they have a seed pod
the size of a medium hen egg.
I may try & save some seed.

Ok fossis....can you send me some seed pods also

NATIVE PEOPLE IN NORTH, CENTRAL, and South America have used the leaves of this woody climbing vine as an anxiety-easer and sedative for centuries, and physicians in Europe commonly prescribe it for the same purposes. Recent studies have renewed American interest in the herb.

Researchers don't know exactly how passionflower works, but they theorize that compounds in the plant, known as flavonoids and alkaloids, regulate the neurotransmitters in your nervous system that reduce anxiety. One flavonoid, called chrysin, calms your central nervous system and lowers your blood pressure.

Nope Gypsy, gonna be 'chawin all them leaves myself'
(just kidding) , I remember now I had heard of that
before.
I will have to wait until they dry, then I will start to gather
some of them.
You didn't send me your address yet to send the other
seeds, I sent some to Wes already.

Yep, those passion flowers are very pretty & smell sweet. I don't have any, but my aunt does. It's just I don't have the room to plant a climbing vine like that.

Fossis,

If the timing is right could ya slip me a couple in the gourd envelope?

Thanks to Gypsy I now realize that I am lacking in flavinoids ?....plus probably a whole bunch of other stuff

I saved seeds last year, but didn't get around to planting
them.

Sure Wes, but if about this time next year, (you seem too
'mellow'), we'll know what you are chewing. :P
