The Corona de Cristo (Passiflora foetida) is an incredibly beautiful flower in the Passifloraceae (Passion-Flower) Family:
The Passion-Flower vine is a larval host for Gulf Fritillary butterflies. I know I have written about it previously, but it bears repeating: if there are no Passion-Flower vines, there will be no Gulf Fritillaries. Period.
This set of photographs was taken on the Mission Reach of the San Antonio River between the ConcepcĂon Park and Confluence Park trailheads on Monday, October 7, 2013.
