I wasn't happy about the long backorder when I first ordered the relatively new hybrid Passiflora 'Sherry' from Wayside Gardens this summer. I finally decided to just wait and now I'm glad I did. The plant that arrived was far from a happy camper, but started to grow after a full month of pampering. It was the last of four rooting cuttings that I ordered this year but the first to bloom. It's first flower (shown here was just about 1 foot above the pot and there are flower buds on every leaf node above this one. The plant is in an 8" pot and the main growth is approaching 4 feet. The flowers are striking but this one lasted only one day as many do. Offsetting this is the tendency, as advertised to bloom on small enough vines to make a great container specimen.

I've just had the honor of being the first to post a picture on the Plant Information Page.
