I was going to put this picture in the what's wrong with my passi..long plant with only two flowers..
OK.. I'm impatient.. it looks like it won't be much longer.. but itseems oh so slow this year..
this was trellised in my hallway all winter.. an I got a few winter flowers..on and off.. I put the plant out with maybe three 10 'vines.. it seems forever ago.. after a week or two.. under the newshade cloth.. I strung it to the top of my fence... then ran fish line from the top of the fence.. up to the top of the TV antenna.. whhere it is about 1/3 of the way up there now.. and finally two flowers...
the looks of the budding.. I should have piles of flowers... maybe 15 flowers / foot of vine .. this is clear sky... but it looks liike the passi on the other side of the fence now.. I can't recall having two clear skys.. perhaps one wanted to flower like the other ... two seem almost identicle now... Lady Margret on the other end... has still yet to get flowers.. but there are a few buds forming now also .. so there is hope... there also..
I never thought I had enough real sun to merit a shade cloth.. this far north.. but it has ment an easier time for everyone in comming up to full sun.. more OT picturtes in the next post of another shade cloth success story.. my night blooming cereus... blooming about 5 flowers a night.. with a new five the next tight ... all week long.. you do the math.. plenty of flowers... about on a par with my rose bushes... and from a NBC up north..
