My plant is popping these all over and they stay for at least 2 days.I love Fall. T-man have you taken all your passis in?
Vitifolia weather
Beautiful color.
Here's my Passiflora vitifolia (grape-leaved passionflower). Notice mine has the red 'eyelashes' (I do't know what you call these things).
Are you sure that monterey's isn't an image of Passiflora coccinea? I'd like to see closeups of the leaves.

There grape-style it's vitifolia.
Monterey,still working on getting them all dug up and in,still have a few more to go,look what I found on Blue Bouquet,as I was digging it up!
When I cut it open 7 seeds to germinate!!!,
It was palnted next to a caerula and morifola,so don't know what to expect from the seeds,hows yours coming along,turning colors yet?

I've managed to kill three vitifolias this summer! I've ordered one more from a local nursery. Now to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Calalily,
I planted mine almost five years ago. Since that time I had to cut it back extensively to paint the house and it came back with a roar. For me, it has proven to be very strong and aggressive. I have growing with it, a Thunbergia mysorensis. I was worried about this plant because I had started it from a 3-inch pot and I didn't know how tender it was. It has proven to be equal to the P. vitifolia. Both of them compete on the same arbor. The P. vitifolia tends to get leggy and bare near the base, but that is exactly where the T. mysorensis is bushy. The P. vitifolia for me anyway, blooms better and over a longer period. My vines are growing between the house and the garage though and I think perhaps the T. mysorensis would like a little longer full sun. They look great when they happen to be blooming at the same time.

Not enough water? Mine likes lots. I feed it gro and then bloom when I want flowers. My plant is in a container.
I know I let them get too dry more than once. I'm working on the soil in the spot I'm going to plant them so hopefully these next ones will live. They aren't expensive here, so that's good!
Here are my P. vitifolia and Thunbergia mysorensis. They both are planted at the base of that 6x6 support about three feet before the porch. Both of them also have a tendency to grow up in the tress. Every spring I pull them out of the trees. This span is about 30 feet.
I tend to underwater these two vines because they would get too agressive. I water them about once a month, but deeply. In the winter, I don't water them at all.

This wall is from 3 individual plants on the other side(Coral Seas passis)
Wow, that must be beautiful to see in person.
They have all kinds of stuff in their yard. This is a princess flower plant, it's about 12-15ft across and maybe 8ft high. That's some kind of mallow(yellow)bush-tree behind it.This is what you have where the weather is never hot and it doesn't freeze. The fresh strawberries you can get in the winter come from fields behind that wall.
Here's a berry nice one for you!
