2023 Photograph, Maypop, Purple Passionflower, True Passionflower, Wild Apricot, or Wild Passion Vine Fruit (this is THE Maypop itself) (Passiflora incarnata, Passiflora Family, Passifloraceae), Fairfax, Virginia, © 2023.
The fruit is the source of the name because when it is ripe and it is stepped on, it 'may pop'.
