My pretty red Passiflora has had several blooms, but as yet no seed pod like the Maypops. Just noticed today little seed like things on the edge of the calyx of the spent blooms. Could these be seeds ??? Hoping!!
I took a pic, but my battery went dead before I could post it. Maybe one of you pros out there can tell me with out it.
Could these be seeds???
seeds are in the fruit pods.
This plant never has fruit pods!!
some of them don't. can't remember if it's cause they're sterile, oh, brain dead today. I have one that won't set fruit. so, no seeds.
My Incense won't bear fruit unless it grows with another kind of Passiflora, because it's a hybrid that isn't self pollinating. But if you grow a different one, it is said to fruit. I have just this year acquired some others from Cala and Tim, and had hoped to finally see fruit, but the vines are struggling with so much munching from the grasshoppers, I doubt they will get to even bloom this year.
I pollinated vitifolia with Purple Haze, had a fruit and then knocked it off :-( The petals stay on if it's been pollianted.
Then what the heck are those little brown thingys that look just like small sesame seeds hanging on the edge of the caylex???
Some sort of eggs from an insect?
Just part of the calyx. It's normal.
Azalea
I posted an old picture of a fruit from P. vitifolia http://davesgarden.com/showthread/298826.html. I'll see if I can get a picture of a fruit still attached to the vine.
Tim, I do appreciate your pic of the fruit - I know that my wild ones do have simialr fruit - just never saw these little brown Thingy's before & no real fruit. I was just hopung that maybe I could plant these. I still have lots to learn.
