My VERY FIRST passie arrived yesterday from Zone 9 Tropicals. Have to say I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Its a citrina. Its 22" long, and 5 buds! It, along with the Aristolochia fimbriata I also ordered were in perfect condition. You'd never know they'd been in a box for 3 days. Not a bit of wilting. I will be growing it exclusively indoors, in a west window, with daily misting and a pebble tray. Will the buds bloom for me? I'm assuming I'll lose them due to the stress of shipping. So trying hard not to expect them to open.
