Title: Passiflora (Passion Flower)
Post by: wahaj on July 02, 2006, 14:15:18
Just wondering if anyone has any passion flower (passiflora seeds) ?

Not really sure what you'd like in return but if there's anything you're looking for...

If you want a Passiflora Caerulea, I can send you a baby if you PM me your details.

If it's definitely the seeds you're after, be patient - I can send you some when my 'triffid'  fruits!

I have either:

seeds for Passiflora caerulea - hardy(ish) blue passion flower, edible-ish fruits
or
baby plants for Passiflora edulis - tender but with tasty fruits

Am happy to send a little bundle of either/both. Not too fussed about receiving anything in return, although if you have plants you're always digging up or dividing, let me know and I'll welcome anything that'll fill a gap in the garden.. :)

(I have a little trade list thing here - http://www.melaniefleur.com/garden/seedswap/)

Same goes for anyone else that wants some Passi edulis seedlings, by the way.

I'm in Spain and when my passion fruit are ready you can have some seeds. One questiion though when do you pick the fruit?? Mine have looked big and green for ages, do they go purple and crinkled on the vine or do you have to pick them????

you have to wait for them to change colour and soften a bit. most of the time it's best to let them drop naturally and then you know for sure they're ripe and no longer poisonous.

And thanks so much for the offer :)
