I'm trying to plan some late April/May (or whenever the snow melts around here - it was 1 degree F yesterday) trades of Passiflora. I have some small plants ready for trade, but I can take and root cuttings if you want something I don't have now. I'm mostly looking for other Passiflora and I'm missing some common ones, but I'll consider other plants. My trade list:

anyone interested in planning spring Passiflora trades?
Me Me Me!! I'll have to get a list together of the ones I have.
p.s.
If anyone has tried to contact me in the past 6 months and never received a response, I apologize. We had some very bad family health problems and it took up a lot of my time. Things have settled now, not in a good way, my mom died, but life is returning to as normal as it can be.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Only time can heal.
oh Dawn, I'm so sorry.
Dawn,
My prayers are with you. Hang in there.
Dawn, I'm new to Passifloras, but we have always had P. incarnata. I just dug some huge root/tuber balls that need homes -- some as big as basketballs down to a few that are single shoots (I have five five-gallon buckets stuffed with roots. Is there a chance you'd be interested in more incarnata or a whole incarnata jamboree in trade for some other rootings?
If not, I have a few hundred other plants that might interest you, if you'd like to write me for a link to my list.
Anybody out there have one hardy to zone 5? I hesitate to buy one from the stores as I don't trust their labels. I don't want to end up with a tropical. Will do trade or SASE. E-mail me.

Naturepatch, jcf sends these out every spring by the dozens. I got some from her last year. You might check and see if she has anymore for this year. This one is hardy to your zone. Here is a link that you can go to and maybe send Janet an email to see if she might have extras.

Forgot to mention that this one can be invasive, so you would want to plant it where you can contain it. Nice flower on it though. It is commonly known as a Maypop vine or P. Incarnata.

Thank you to everyone for the offers and good thoughts!
Naturepatch, I don't know where jcf's P. incarnata originated, but I have one that was originally collected from a native Ohio plant. They have survived many winters in zone 5. Sometimes it makes a difference if the plant came from a cold climate. If you are interested, I can send you some cuttings when they first come up. They don't show around here until late May or early June usually. Brugie's right, they can be invasive, that's why I should have cuttings to give out because they come up all over!
