my pasion flower finally bloomed!!!!!

one of my longest living plants is a passion flower i bought a few years back, and somehow it has survived, even when we have been away for months (thanks to kind souls who water my plants while we roam). however it has not bloomed in two or three years, and i was beginning to think it never would again. but the other day there there were 7 new buds, after i have given hope. and finally today one opened! oh the joy!
even my lady bug friends who hangs out in the passion flower was very happy to see the flower today!
