    We thought we'd lost our Passion Vine (passiflora incarnata) when the old workshop was destroyed by wind and during the rebuilding, the spot where the vine was was tromped by workmen. But, lo and behold, it popped up in its old spot, and is now climbing the trellis my husband installed and even blooming! This is one tough lady! Workshop Passionflower.jpg

    Not only tough but lovely into the bargain. So glad your Passion Vine has survived and flourished.

    If you need more seed I think I have some ! You really can`t kill these things ! If there is a tiny bit of root it will come back ! Yours looks great !

    Nice to know your Passion Vine is back in action and passion fruit flowers are always so lovely to look at :D
    I have never ever tasted a sweet passion fruit before but only read about it. The Granadilla (Passiflora ligularis) according to google is sweet tasting and I am wandering anyone has tasted it before. :) Is it really sweet?
