Strikingly weird and beautiful to behold, this oddity is also toxic and invasive outside of the Mediterranean. California seems to have its share. In this picture the flowers are seen bursting through some passionflower vines.
Are the purple flowers and the orange and green "berries" all of the orange candleflower? I am not sure what part is the passionflower vines.
