First, the latter: to those of you who are subscribed to our RSS, my apologies for the festival that it's been lately. We've got our stuff together now, and we won't be polluting your feed readers with garbage anymore.

We're still adjusting to the new homestead, and we're finding neat things in the oddest places. No, not just the time travel store or the former pupuseria turned authentic North Carolina BBQ joint, we've actually managed to find something cool chilling behind our trash cans.

At any rate, in front of our car, behind the trash cans, where the wild things are, we've found some pretty sweet flowers growing on the vines overhanging the chain-link fence protecting our neighbors from us. Take a look!



So bright, and flowery

Bigger, yet blurrier

In any case, just thought we'd share. Anyone have any clue what sort of bloom they are?

Update: thanks, reddit! Turns out they're passiflora caerulea, a blue variant of the passion flower, and (bonus) they produce edible, if not necessarily tasty, fruit. Urban farming, here we come!
