alien tendrils sprout in banana yellow,
a crisscross of purple limbs, a centerpiece atop
your body. what are you? a U.F.O. among the leaves?
a kaleidoscopic array of spikes and colors starburst
from dark hair carefully manicured in a circular
formation. what a strange thing you are.
squash yellows, purples, dark browns, and soft shade of blues.
the design is divine mathematics pleasing to the eye, but
you are a weird flower.
I found this flower on a walk in a residential neighborhood near Coit Tower. I’d love to know what it is, if you know please leave a comment below.

Omg that’s such a cool looking flower I’ve never seen one like it!
I know right?! Very cool looking. Thank you for commenting!
Oh that is a passion flower. I think some varieties also give us the passion fruit… we had one that could bloom in summer for a while (I live in Sweden so it couldn’t survive winter).
Really? I will have to look passion fruit up. It is so peculiar and beautiful at the same time. Thank you so much for reaching out and letting me know.
