Passiflora Online - P. mixta with Ensifera ensifera
  sub sole sub umbra virens

 


 

Many thanks to Luis Mazariegos for his kindness in letting me use this beautiful picture of P. mixta being approached by the Andean sword-billed hummingbird, the marvellously named Ensifera ensifera. This photo was taken in the department of Tolima, Colombia, at an altitude around 2000 meters. The site is on a road from Ibague to el Caņon del Combeima heading to Nevado del Tolima. The photo is in his Hummingbirds of Colombia book.
