There are so many gorgeous passies out there that I don't have...lol. Here is a picture of my Lady Lavender. This will be the third season that I've overwintered it in the basement.
:) Donna
Pics of your passies, please?
Donna, I'm on my second or third year with one and it gets monsterous, does yours? I mean I let it take the lattice on the deck and it just goes crazy, just now starting to bloom, very reliable.
Yes, it does grow really well. I need to get a better trellis. When I bring it in, I do have to cut it back alot.
Very Pretty, Chopper looks very content. Mark, please post your Kermisina in the plant files, It's quite lovely and there are no pics.. thx

I just love her, she's probably my favorite. Not nearly as large as your's but it warrants a spot in front of the French doors during winter.... Just lovely, MySharona.
Mark, your collection is always impressive. Congratulations on all of your successes! I particularly like the P. kermesina. Wow! I recently ordered seeds of it and will hopefully have as much success with it that you have. And there is nothing lame about P. subpeltata - it's an old favorite that is always a treat!
Oot of all of them, though, I think P. 'Chopper' is my favorite!

AuntB, I'll try posting that pic but have never done that before.
Mark
Erick, thank you so much. I've been busy getting these plants ready for winter, got a lot of work to do.

Ok, Chopper is a hit. lol I have a new flower today, I'll get a pic posted later. This will be Passiflora Racemosa 'Buzios'. It is not the bright red like the normal racemosa and the corona filaments are different too.

Standing ovation, Mark! I LOVE it! And the shape of the buds .... are those before or after opening? Just Beautiful!
MySharona - All my vines are pot grown in the back yard, I don't have any space to plant anything here, it's all cement.
AuntB - those buds are all before opening. This picture was the very very first one to open for me, I've never seen this flower before except in a picture.

I dont have any flowers here yet, but I just put this Incense Passionflower in the ground about two months ago. Its all over the place .... Can I expect it bloom soon?
The same thing with the white "Constance". I broke the vine in error so its way behind the "Incense", but still is not growing as fast as the purple incense.
Mark your passiflora's are all georgeous!! I wish I could keep things alive in pots. I would definetly have more varieties then.

I havent got any blooms yet, but the vine is running wild, can I expect to see blooms this year?
AWWW ... I am sooo jealous! :(
Marie, thank you for the compliment.
