Will it get darker in time?
How many days will it stay open?

Oh WOW!!

Judy

My words exactly!!!

Purple today.

Congratulations, Don. You have been waiting a while to get this. They are a great vine, no doubt.

After the flower turns purple,it only last 2 days before it fell off is this normal or because of the mid 90* heat?

I never get bloom here till late September almost if I had started from seed in the spring. So by then it is much cooler here and they last. So my guess is you are right about the heat shortening the life of the bloom. But they need that heat to really grow well too.

Well we have the heat and they are growing crazy,all over the window screens of the sunroom..

Lucky you. I am waiting for mine to bloom.

Wow, so pretty. I have seeds, I keep forgetting to plant them!

After 2 days the flowers turn there heads down and drop off,are they self pollinaters,or do I have to hand pollinate them?
I am not seeing any bees,just the gulf butterflies,that loves the leaves of passion flowers.Haven't see a whole lot of wasps yet either.
Calla,plant them and they will grow!!!!LOL
Maybe if they are fresh seeds!!!

I planted one of these from a 4 inch pot 2 years ago. I had to pull it out that same year. It goes nuts. Took over everything around it. And did it fast. Beware!!

Beautiful! I planted seeds. I kept one and gave one to my friend. Mine is growing gang busters and has a few buds already. I hope they don't fall off.

Kell,your so right,it has covered the front of my sunroom windows and heading for the roof!!!
But frost will get here,so I'm not going to worry to much!

I had one, and it died with all of the rain, don't understand why, except maybe snails got to it before I got to them!!! :( . Those are beautiful blooms, waaahhhhh, maybe I will grow one next year, or this fall, anyone growing them down here in the south--Texas???

I tried this last year and they never bloomed. I kept them in the house during the winter but it died. From what I read on the other thread I watered it too much.
I am trying Royal Plum this year.
Are you going to overwinter it? You are in the same zone that I am in. Linda

I haven't quite decided if I will or not,room is very precious during the wintertime,I have so many plants,and I've not heard anyone saying anything favorable about overwintering,and the sucess with the plant the next spring.
I'm really enjoying it very much this year,but if I get seeds,which for some reason I don't see any after several blooms,don't know why either,plenty of bees nd wasps to pollinate them,think will start from seed again in february.
Please let me know if you decide if you will.
Thanks
Don
