passion flower

Savannah, GA(Zone 8b)

I have two passi, a red and blue. They have only have a couple of blooms since I planted them in the spring. The orange ?butterflies love them and I have seen lots of caterpillars, but sure would like to see some flowers. Any suggestions.
Thanks,

Chris, it is getting pretty late for passifloras to bloom now, depending upon which kind you have. Do you know the names of yours? The caterpillars won't hurt your flowers; they just eat the leaves. Just make sure that you don't fertilize passifloras because that leads to lush growth at the expense of flowers. Here's a link: http://davesgarden.com/pdb/b/Passifloraceae/Passiflora/
