FLORA AND FAUNA OF LECHAT NOIR FARM

And Fungus!

Purple Passionflower

(Entry #8) Passiflora incarnata. Known as maypop due to the fact that when you step on the fruits, they will pop. Meaning it should have been willpop. Yet it was not. The flower is squiggly and purple, and basically very distinctive. The purple is not always too deep. The fruit is green, and supposedly when ripe orange; yet none has ever made it to that stage under my supervision. And it's called supervision because my vision is super.
The leaf is... a dinosaur foot. It is green. This is due to chemicals that make plants green. It is a vine. I believe technically it is not a vine and it is a crawler; this simply means it does not climb up things as much as... things that climb up things. This is not strict, they will still climb a little.
Virginia creeper climbs, and also has pads it sticks to trees, instead of tendrils. Poison ivy/oak does not have the sort of circle in between the toes of the leaves. Other passionflowers are either distinct or impossible for me to say currently. 
The fruit is edible. Animals appear to think that it is delicious, as the fruits have not made it to their completion just yet. The seeds are little seed looking things.

I cannot yet test toxicity. Except by eating them. But if I'm dead I can't really make any more entries and cannot write any more mythology. 
Habitat: Unsure. Open spaces, more or less. 
Other stuff: Affected by my so-called "nightshade disease." I may do an entry on it, although I do not know what it actually is, whether fungus or blight or mineral deficiency, nor what to call it.

    I like observing animals, especially birds. I also take care of the goats. I like goats.
