It is very rare and only found in high elevations of Ecuador and Peru.<br />I am positive the first flower is indeed a type of passionfruit as they come in many different colours but was wrong about the last one. I thought it a gloxinia but I was wrong.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-43250210701108151282014-03-21T18:36:40.602+08:002014-03-21T18:36:40.602+08:00Yes, aren't we so fortunate in having flowers ...Yes, aren't we so fortunate in having flowers in our world.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-26690526190298195692014-03-21T18:36:13.378+08:002014-03-21T18:36:13.378+08:00They are certainly different and no you are not im...They are certainly different and no you are not imagining it.

The centre does resemble the flowers we had on our passionfruit vine although the petals are different. Perhaps a banana passionfruit flower.
