This intricate blossom reminds me of a dancer with a beautifully woven skirt. It’s a passion flower (Passiflora incarnata), a native Kentucky vine now blooming in the backyard. I find it to be quite exotic and another example of the amazing designs found in nature.

“a dancer with a beautifully woven skirt” – YES!
I love this gorgeous photo and also your description of the bloom. I’m so glad I got to see the vine in person yesterday. Thanks for a most enjoyable afternoon! Your garden is delightful, and I learned SO much.
