Hello All.

I can't say enough great things about this Passionflower. Although the flowers are not as large as others in the genus - they are still a respectable 4 cm or so - they are a gorgeous lemon yellow. From my research online, I learned that they are the only yellow hummingbird-pollinated Passiflora in the world. They do great in a bright window. Mine blooms year round on my south facing porch, and I am in Minnesota! They are easy to manage in an 8" pot with a small trellis, are not fussy about water, take well to being cut back regularly and - best of all - are not bothered at all by spider mites. The leaves are attractive too.

I took this picture earlier this evening.
