Misera Loves Company

I got a second chance at some photos of Passiflora misera. The first round was blurry because I had to go off to work that morning in a rush. Today, I took my time. First I tried with the natural fence background, but the white flower on that light gray was a wash. Then I held a black background up to get the contrast that I needed, but it looked synthetic and staged and still the photos were coming out ... not great. So, for the third try I sprayed the fence down with water which darkened it up some. Finally I got a few acceptable shots. They're not fantastic, but they'll do. They always bloom in couplets it seems, and they look very sea-creature-y with their white tendrils and pale purple inner corona.
