This is the first flower on another Passion Flower, Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima, that I obtained as a gift last fall. Just opened Saturday, just 4 days ago. It's growing in a pot (for now) just outside of my front door. What a greeting!

Here's a close-up. I just love the detail and contrast.

That one is so pretty! I wish I had the room....
sunnyG, Thank you. It can grow to be a monster. I really don't have any real space either and would be concerned about its getting out of hand.
That's why I've decided to try it as a container plant to hopefully control its size. I'm somewhat optimistic considering that it is blooming as so small a plant. I hope to report more on this in time.
Allan
Yes, please update on how it does in its container. I have a tiny yard, and I'm growing all my passifloras in pots (with the exception of P. loefgrenii) so they don't take over everything. We shall see....
