| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish] |
Today is commemorated the independence day of Argentina (1816) and I publish this photo because it is a very pretty flower, very Argentine and because it has part of the colors of the flag. It was taken 9 months ago, in springtime (today long ago cold, it is snowing in Buenos Aires!) Grows in my garden, but iit is wild, is NOT cultivated.
I hope you like it. A greeting to all TN!
Scientific name: Caerulea Passiflora. L.
Other popular names: Pasiflora, flower of the passion, murucuyá, maracuyá 8guaraní), etc.
Flia.: Pasifloráceae.
MAJORITIES
Grass used like "tranquilizante" in the traditional medicine, whose effects have been validated in recent investigations. "pasifloras" they are original species of the tropic and American subtropic that cultivate in many countries of the world by their fruits - the succulent, acidulos and aromatic seed coats in cases, mesocarpo fleshy in others, are used in the nutritional industry for drinks, candies, refreshments, etc. - by its flowers - numerous species and hybrids, around 400, also have an important ornamental value - and by their medicinal utility, so the case of incarnata Passiflora L., in which case they are leaves, earrings and flowers, and even roots, the objective of the production, although in this last case the provision has wild origin. In Argentina, "pasiflora" more important it is caerulea P., it plants on which important works of investigation in relation to their active components and to their qualities with sedative have been made. Also the market is supplied here of the harvesting of spontaneous units, to such point that its abundance has declined years in the last. This is a reason important to present some particularitities its culture and to a certain extent to treat and to diminish the pressure by sobreharvesting that is made on this vegetable.
ECOLOGY Mburucuyá is a liana that prospers well in all the North region of our country, is common in the provinces of Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Santa Fé, Chaco, Formosa, Tucumán, Santiago del Estero, Cordoba, Buenos Aires, etc. It grows better in climate with alternancy of dry and humid periods, a total of 600 to 1,200 mm of water to the year. As far as grounds, the nonargillaceous ones are preferable or clay them sandy, with pH neutral to acid and slightly rich in organic matter. The flowers, that appear in spring, are hermafroditas and solitary. The abundance of the flowering, and the biomass, is employee of the amount of light that receives the plant, reason to locate the culture in places nonshaded.

Hernan, this is exquisite! Your composition and clarity are spot on to let us fully appreciate this flower. The colors are rich, and the layers of pattern and symmetry are amazing. Great job!
Hi Hernan,
This is a fabulous image of this very pretty flower. The detail in the image is great. The colours are beautiful too. Nice capture.

Hi Hernan
It's not fair that this beautiful flower grows wild in your area. I have to purchase from a greenhouse where I live. You've captured the sharp detail and colour here. Excellent note.
Congratulations on your Independence Day!
