Garden question. Space to use up? Suggestions? Also what is this flower?

I have a space towards the end of the garden that is overgrown with weeds, I am looking for suggestions of what to do with it. It is only small 65"X96" Here it is: http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/t... and http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/t...





Could anyone also shed any light on what the climber is at the back of the space? here is the flower: http://s19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/t...

The climber is a Maypop aka Passifloria incarnata. As to the space, several flowers are "trying !!" to compete with the weeds. Why not pull the known weeds and see what happens, with a little TLC they could be real showstoppers. RScott
Reply:Break the weed cycle by sheet mulching (see wikipedia) for a few months. Then plant something edible AND ornamental. Might as well get something in return for your efforts. And keep it organic if you can. Report Abuse

Reply:Looks like a great space for a personal herb garden.
Reply:Herb garden was my first thought also. But I also see a good spot for English Lavender.
Reply:the flower is passion flower, of the passion vine. The flower is so named as it's parts symbolize the elements of the passion of Christ. The lacy crown could be the halo or crown of thorns; the five stamens, the five wounds; the ten petal-like parts, the ten faithful apostles.
