Thank you. I'll try that, some time.

A god friend of mine gave me a rooted passiflora coccinea (the red one) that butterflies and catterpilars don't like on account of an alcaloid it contains. I bought a Byron's Beauty, which got eaten to the ground while we were on a cruise. All that was left is the little trellis that came with the vine when I purchased it. I have had absolutely no success starting them from seeds. I include a picture of Byron's Beauty, which smelled so unbelievably good.

Thank you for the tips.
Sylvain.
