I just thought I'd share the beauty. This is from my p. foetida abla...
Two passion flower pics
And this is from a small caerula plant... Smells like licorice.
Both are very pretty. I've never seen a passiflora bloom that I didn't like.
So pretty. I really like the white one.
I've got p. foetida alba to share..... tempted anyone?
Would you like some edulis seeds captain mitcha? (Nancy Garrison) Nice fruit, great leaves and a different flower.
I like first one very much, because 2nd one I have. Very beautiful white color.
CaptMicha, they both are very beautiful! I would love to have seed of the white one. What would you like in return?
This is my third passionflower bloom, Lady Margaret. I get so excited when new flowers open.
CaptMicha
Your third one is very very beautiful. Are you collecting the seeds of your vines?
Well, I did for my foetida abla, the caerula flower fell off so I'll have to wait for next year and the Lady Margaret doesn't come true from seed. I can wait and see if any will form incase you want to try some?
CaptMicha
Why not, sure, I will try if you will send me.
CaptMicha, If you have any of your Foetida Alba seeds left, I would love to try a few. This is my first year with passionvines so I don't have pods yet, I have about three on Incense that are not ready yet. A couple have been empty, so hopefully there is something in the ones left. I have other seeds other than passionvine. Thank you.. A
I have bunches! You can have some for sase. Email me if interested.
Sent you mail CaptMicha.. Thanks you. A
They all look beautiful!!
Shelly go to passion flower pics for more! In the vines and climbers forum.
Oh gosh!!! LOL I know I will spend hours there! Thanks for the heads up!
Just wanted to tell you that after soaking the seeds and sowing them just last week, already in one week, 25 seeds have germinated. I am one happy camper. That was the fastest of any of the passies I have tried. How's everybody else's doing? I did soak the seeds for two weeks, actually as soon as I got them. And sowed them last Saturday.
edited to say: Thank you CapMicha...

Soon you'll have more plants than you'll know what to do with! They put out flowers and fruit like crazy!
CaptMicha.... I think every seed you sent me...germinated! I was so thrilled to see all those little plants...and then..poof! They ALL died!!! I would say they had the damping off disease...only thing I know?
They all looked so healthy too!
I hate when they do that, you get all excited and they up and die on you!
I can send you more to try again. Just email me your info. It might help to sterilize your medium and pot with boiling water first. After I do this, I usually seal the whole pot and all in a fresh freezer bag so the steam will kill any remaining bad stuff. Then you just wait for it to cool over night and sow as normal.
CaptMicha.....that would be wonderful. And that sounds like a good idea! I will send you an email. Thanks!
