Clare,

the P quandrangularis is definitely the second one...3 GCs have confirmed this. And the vines were actually covered in fruit as much as flowers. That one is also in a street with no other passifloras so it's highly unlikely the vines were pollinated by insects travelling from another passiflora.

My pic above was taken nearly an entire day after I picked the flower and the center portion had already shrunk up quite a bit. When I first picked it, it was open like the one in your link.

I took the pic below 2 days ago when some news blooms were just opening. I'll go back today and see if i can get a pic of one of them fully open.
