Hello All.

In my opinion, this Passiflora is under-appreciated among vine afficiandos. It's an old English hybrid, I believe. The flowers are somewhat small, perhaps 2.5" at most, but are lovely, lightly fragrant, and borne in profusion over many months. Plus, the plant isn't bothered by spider mites and is easy to cut back and manage on a small trellis.

Here is a pic of one of the 20+ flowers open today on my plant. It's in a 10" clay pot. We had just enjoyed a lovely summer light rainstorm.
