New Passiflora and Hibiscus collector/gardener from Florida.
Hi All,
Have a fascination with Passiflora and the various colored tropical hibiscus but love them all. Currently only have one in the ground blooming passiflora vitifolia. Have one more large plant which I've been taking too many cuttings from, P.BettyMylesYoung. Should have some rooted cuttings to trade soon.
I do have a bunch of little plants working at the moment,
P. L & C,
P. Caerulea
P. Lavender Lady
P. sanguinolenta
P. racemosa v racemosa "Buzios"
P. Raspberries & Cream
and perhaps others I can't remember at the moment.
Looking to try my hand at grafting a little down the road as there are so many plants that are beautiful but can't take the heat here in Florida....so I'm told, ;-)
Been on Garden Web since last summer but the forum is way too slow for my liking.
Love to see blooms and to hear what grows here in Florida and what has failed and why, not to say I don't want to learn what others are growing the beautiful vines elsewhere.
Greetings
Beautiful, congratulation and best wishes with your rooting.
I have a few passies among a whole forrest of other things. I keep trying to root some but I never have any luck. Spring is right around the cornor, so I'll be trying again. Hope we can trade sometime!
Look forward to trading to expand my collection and expand my assortment of rootstock too! Should have some in a week or two.

I would love a rooted cutting of:
racemosa v racemosa "Buzios"
sanguinolenta
Dmail me and we can discuss trading, if you're so inclined!
Kay,
I've taken two cuttings off my very new racemosa v racemosa "Buzios" and it has only been a little over two weeks, no roots yet but those are promised already. Perhaps in a month or two when there is some more substantial growth I can take more. The sanguineolenta is way too small for cuttings, only being about 8 inches tall. That too was recently acquired.
I guess I need to clarify the above list "little plants working" means that those are new plants to me and are not big enough for cuttings.
Other than the two "Buzios", I have numerous P.BMY and P.vitifolia that I'm trying to root cuttings. Will announce as soon as I have trades.
Darren
