Passionate

[Mrs Ava]

This scrambles through the interior roof space of the hexagonal bit of our conservatory.  Received as a weedy unamed cutting 18 months ago.  First flower.

Wonderful photographs EJ. I love passion flowers.  :D

Lovely EJ, they all look so healthy!

[GardnerJ]

will you get real passionfruits from it??
yummy!

lovely. sooooo intricate, aren't they, you could never design something quite like it.

It looks a lot like the one I have growing in my garden. It was flowering in November!

GardenerJ - unfortunately they don't produce proper passionfruit - they do produce fruit - lovely looking orange things, but they don't taste good, apparently (i've never tried!)

Aqui is that an ornamental one? My parents have passionfruit growing on their farm (SA) and are the edible kind, they look a lot like the picture EJ has posted.

Beautiful EJ - can't wait for summer to see the flowers on mine again.  Do you prune yours back at all.  I didn't prune and mine didn't do so well last summer.  Wondered whether to prune it back this spring.  Any advice appreciated :)

My parents have one in their garden, looks just like that, produces masses of orange fruits that apparently taste horrid!!

[Mrs Ava]

No idea if it will fruit, doubtful as it is indoors so no pollinators around.  Gorgeous flowers.  Has never been pruned as it isn't that old.  Also it is now up in the eves of my conservatory roof, so unlikely to be pruned.  I am thrilled and hoping it will continue.
