Aunt B., yes, I mentioned the Passiflora in my first post on this thread. The Passiflora "Lavender Lady" was growing together with my Delachampia vine on a Bougainvillea until I took out both the Passiflora and the Bougainvillea. The Delachampia vine was pruned at the same time. A lavender trumpet vine is still growing with it also.

Thanks, Kathy! Yes, I've collected seeds. Here is a photo with the seedpod. When the seedpod starts to turn brown, pick it and put it in a sealed envelope. It will explode when it is fully ripe. Your sealed envelope should keep the seeds enclosed the envelope; otherwise, they would fly a great distance. The seedpod is very hard but will explode open when the seeds are ready. The yellow leaves are probably from underwatering.
