In 1919 the Passion Flower was named the Tennessee State Wildflower. In 1939 the iris was named the Tennessee State Flower.
Larry found a couple of vines of the passion flower. The fruit may be in the picture, too. I didn't notice it when I took the picture, but it seems to be to the left of the open flower and immediately next to the unopened flower on the right.
Larry pointed out a fruit but all the pictures I took were fuzzy. But the fruit is supposed to be edible and good for treatment of insomnia and anxiety. I feel anxious about trying stuff we find. I don't know when to harvest it or what to do to it. Maybe I can find out more.
