I’m a green gardener and I’ve been involved with gardening since I was a kid, around 8 years old. I remembered it very clearly, I planted watermelons before and the biggest one was weighted more than 10kg! Also, I planted assorted vegetables and fruits before, including tomatoes, mung beans, cucumbers, pumpkins, lettuces, celery, papayas, mangosteen, rambutans etc. (PS: I was still a primary school student during that moment)
Times passing by and I was a grown up middle aged adult. However, my passion with gardening still remains the same.
Today, I want to introduce the passion fruits tree and its flowers. I planted this little fellow two years ago (right before I joined Steemit for sure XD)
At the beginning, I was thinking to just let it grow alongside the fences. However, it’s not a good idea, as my neighbor might not be happy about it (even though they’re a humble Malay family who loves gardening too)
In this case, I decided to use the cut some PVC pipes and bend them into a curve shaped dome. I let the passion fruits and its flowers growing alongside the PVC pipes.
For those of you that never seem the passion fruits flower before – here’s the appearance of the flower.
PS: Since the flowers blossoming season is already past, I only can post the passion fruits flowers from Pixabay. Hope you all don't mind~
To be honest, I found that the flowers are quite attractive and colorful. That’s the reason why there are so many bees and butterflies come to pollinate on the flowers.
Below here are top ten reasons, why we need to consume passion fruits:
It’s a strong antioxidant and helps against the development of cancerous cells
It helps to maintain the blood pressure level
The soluble fiber content protect us from colon cancer
It’s good for your eyes
It’s an essential nutrient to keep anemia away
Good for your digestive system
A natural boost to your immune system
Prevent you from any cardiovascular diseases
Rich with Alkaloids – induce better sleep at nights
Keep the nasty asthma away
So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to grow some passion fruits right away!
A daily joke for you all – If you didn’t have any passion in your life, all you need to do is eating some “passion fruits” lol
This blog is made especially for the Hello Hello Group #HHG10 - The Flower Challenge.

我本身是一名园艺爱好者，从8岁开始我就和妈妈学习接触园艺。我仍清楚记得，小时候我种出了我人生中最大的西瓜，最大的一粒重达10公斤以上！此外，我也陆陆续续地种植了各种蔬菜和水果，其中包括：西红柿，绿豆，黄瓜，南瓜，生菜，芹菜，木瓜，山竹，红毛丹等。（PS：那时我还是国小学生）
时光荏苒，转眼间我已经是老腊肉一枚。然而，我对园艺的热情仍然保持不变。
今天，我想和大家介绍一下百香果树及其花朵。我在两年前种下了这个小家伙（就在我加入Steemit之前XD）一开始，我想让它攀着篱笆生长。但是，我再三思考，这不是一个好主意，因为我的邻居可能会不喜欢（虽然他们是一个谦卑和睦的马来人家庭，同时也喜欢园艺）。
经过考量，我决定使用一些PVC管切割成弯曲的拱型圆顶。这个PVC构架，整整花费了我半天的时间，才制造好。我让百香果和它的花朵攀缘着PVC管，从下而上慢慢地生长。
对于那些从来没有见过百香果花的伙伴们 - 这是其花朵的外观。
PS: 由于已经过了百香果开花的季节，我唯有从Pixabay那边截图与大家分享～
老实说，我发现这些花朵的构造非常奇特，花朵本身也十分美艳动人。这就说明了，为什么会有这么多的蜜蜂和蝴蝶来为花朵授粉。
以下是十大理由，为什么我们需要多使用百香果：
它是一种很好的强抗氧化剂，有助于抵抗癌细胞的生长
它有助于调节血压水平
它的可溶性纤维保护我们避免被结肠癌盯上
它对我们的眼睛有很好的保护作用
贫血者的必需营养素之一
它帮助促进我们的消化系统功能
它有助于提升我们的免疫系统
它能防止任何心血管疾病
它富含生物碱 - 可以在夜晚让我们有更好的睡眠
它是哮喘病的克星
看完了这篇文章，那你还在等什么？心动不如行动，立即去种植一些百香果吧！
这里有一则冷笑话，希望你们不会介意 - 如果在你的生活中没有任何热情，你只需要吃一些“百香果”(英文Passion是中文的热情) 就可以了 XD
