Passiflora caerulea

Passiflora caerulea is one of the best known passionflowers in Germany. If a store carries passionflowers, then P. caerulea is the first among them.

It is one of the most cold tolerant passionflowers, tolerating down to -15°C and below. The only problem that may occur in my region, is rotting of the roots due to too much rain.
This winter is the first for one of them planted out in my backyard, but I have a backup in my conservatory among all the other passionflowers which can't stand frost.

Although it is winter here and all my passionflowers are in my conservatory for overwintering, this one bloomed even in winter. Just in time to play a bit for this WWP event.

The whole object movie is made of 360 single photos, which cover the upper half sphere in 10° steps. The shots were taken with an old object rig from Kaidan, which I found on ebay months ago. I had to modify it a bit, because it was made for a much lighter cam.
It took me 35 minutes to take the photos themselves, btw.
