Passionflower

I love this flower, it looks like it came from outer space!
The vine this flower is growing on was recently attacked by a bunch of tiny, spiky red caterpillars. They chewed lots of holes through all the leaves and it looks pretty sad as a result.
I shooed them into a glass of soapy water to kill them, and will fertilize and change the potting soil.
Hopefully that will bring it back to life and give me more gorgeous flowers like this one.

What a pretty flower! I never gave much thought to what a passion flower looked like, but I'm glad to know. Thanks.
