Thanks to all who have contributed so much information on Passion Flowers. This is a new venture for me, much different than vegetable gardening. My back yard is 80 x 60, with chain link fencing. I have planted 4 vines which I obtained from Shoe, bless his little heart, and am amazed at all the varieties available. After much deliberation we will accept Clare's identification as my vine's new name. Therefore I dub thee Passiflora Eduli and may you live comfortably in my back yard. But alas, I read that this plant does not want to get its little footsies frosted. Dear me, our NC winters are not unbearably cold, an average twixt 10 and 20 but what temperature is the ground around the roots? Will I need to provide cover, possibly try to swipe a home made quilt from my DW? I think not, but hopefully you will advise me. So a nice posting comes to the end, and now I will need to get out the pictures and try to identify the flower from the second vine that I posted.
And for my final picture, I choose the fruit of the P. Eduli vine.Thanks to all, Woody
