I missed it when it was fully open, but got this pic before it was completely closed.
Molissima
You need to get a fruit from that, I read it has banana flavor.
Tim, it's a different class of passifloras, what do I pollinate it with?
Its own pollen, I believe it is self fertile.
Oh cool!!! I should have tried that. I've got more buds. This one is slow to flower, I cut it way back in early summer because it was out of control.
Calla - you have this one in a basket? I grew this one from seed last year & planted it in the ground. It doesn't look like there are any blooms coming.
I have a small one in a basket, this one is in a 20 gallon pot with a brug. It completely covered the brug, grew to the ceiling of a greenhouse, and was huge. I cut it back to get it out of the GH. It's just now starting to flower. It was a full year old before it put on buds the first time.
Cala is this one easy to root? I don't know if my big plant will handle being dug up.
Poppysue, it's not the easiest, but you will get good success. Take tip cuttings, 3 nodes from the tip(don't count the tip as a node), dip in root hormone(I like Schultz) and root in vermiculite, sand or perlite.
arsenic,
I read that P. vitifolia fruits are good too, wrong, they were really sour!!
Yes, Mollissima fruits (sold with name Curuba) are very sour...
