Passiflora foetida

#stinkingpassionflower #passiflorafoetida #passionflower you can see the fruit developing already from yesterday's flower as well as the sticky bracts waiting to trap insects #protocarnivorous

#stinkingpassionflower #passionflowerfruit #passiflorafoetida #passionflower the fruit is edible and the only thing not poisonous about this plant. The bracts that hold the fruit are sticky and are considered #protocarnivorous meaning it can trap insects but it is questionable if it can digest them.

Interesting information
