Update: I'm sorry to report that the pesticides used to kill the thrips also whacked sanguinolenta. I don't do so well with the smalls (aka Decaloba subgenus). I've killed two cintrinas now. They just can't handle the poisons like the others.

Blood, Sweat, and No Tears
The first of the new arrivals bloomed today - passiflora sanguinolenta, which means "that which expels blood" in Spanish. The flower is a mauve-ish color and there are no thorns, so I think it's a bit of a misnomer. Nevertheless, with the heat the first little pretty flower popped open.
