I love some of the red passifloras. I have 4 or 5 red ones and would like to have Lady Margaret too. Passifloras are like brugs. You get one and then have to have another and so on.........

Hi Monika,
What is the name of this one. It is simply gorgeous. It will go on my want list.

Monika, did you remove ALL the passifloras?? Even this one?

Very beautiful. Wish I could quit looking at these, it's another to go on the "want list".

The name is Passiflora x decaisneana, a cross between quadrangularis and alata.

I removed all my Passifloras, Liz. My DH was hospitalized for almost two years and Passis make more work than Brugs. I couldnt handle alltogether anymore.. Today, my Ghs are Coldhouses and there is no chance for overwintering for most of this species. Brugmansia had always been my special interest, so I dont miss the Passis anymore.

A beautifully grown Passiflora Monica - well done.

Peter.

it is a beauty!

Oh dear - I must be doing something wrong. I pull all the passifloras that need temperatures below 50F into the GH in the fall, strip all the leaves and only slightly water during the winter. In what way are they more work than the brugs?
Please tell me that you sold them or gave them away ~ please don't tell me you trashed them. The first I ever heard your name was in the Vanderplank book - you must have had passiflora that we have never heard of.

It's a beautiful vine Monika.

I had P. x decaisneana, it died when the temps drop below 55F. I also loss a P. quadrangularis that winter.

I sold them, Liz, as usual, for an apple an a egg, german saying.

You have to check them all the time, help them climb as many species flower only on downward hanging branches, that reached the light as in their native habitat, the top of a tree. Potting 20 Passifloras takes as much time as potting 200 Brugmansias. Passisflora roots do not keep a root ball together as Brugmansia does. I made this bamboo climbing ladders myself. When potting, they had to stabilzied, otherwise they would damage many roots.

At that time, I had 150 Passiflora species not to count the Brugmansias.

Did you have a passiflora allee as well? Do you have a picture?

With the exception of the Tacsonias and some half hardy species and hybrids, I kept them in the GH.

Hi Monika,
As I recall, P. mixta is of the Tacsonias group, correct?
And the Tacsonias group do not like heat, correct? Since I am in Florida, the heat may be too much for mixta. It is thriving nicely, but no flower. I treated it just like all the others. How do I go about to get it to flower? Throw it in the fridge? :)

Tacsonias grow in the cooler foggy mountain regions of the Andes. You have to try to simulate something like this. First, take P. mixta out of the sun in partial shape. Check the humidity. This is, what Tacsonias needs. In the evening, sprinkle in a larger diameter water to evaporate and raise the humidity. But its not a guarantee, that your P. mixta will appreciate it and start flowering.

I moved the mixta a few months ago, it now only getting indirect sunlight. Humidity is hight, I spray in the morning and the evening.
I will provide it with cooler climate next year, after the move. :)

Thanks.
