Contest : Flower's Macrophotography with only one photo - by @faizanwrites07
Hello (Hola) to all of you!
I hope you all will be great and doing well in life.
Here is my entry for the contest of Flower's Macrophotography,
Flower Name: "Clock-Flower" in our native terms because of it's resemblance with the clock's shape but its scientific name is " Passiflora caerulea" which means the blue passionflower.
Also, This popular and showy plant has attracted a number of common names. In Paraguay it is widely known as mburucuyá in Guaraní. Other names include blue crown, flower of five wounds, southern beauty, wild apricot, Jesus flower. The specific epithet caerulea means "blue" and refers to the blue coronal filaments.[4] In Japan it is called 時計草 (Clock plant) due to having 12 petals, a central stamen and stigmas resembling a timepieces's winding mechanism, and curly green tendrils resembling wound springs.

It has been a debatable topic whether this flower is poisonous or not. But surely it is not good for health if ingested.
