oh yeah. duh. don't know why i typed fence, i could see plain as day you said house. (i've been fooling with my fence all day) :)

correction: your HOUSE looks great :)

Good gracious!! How many vines do you suppose it takes to get a thick coverage like yours? I grew violacea form 3 for a couple of years. It is a great bloomer. The third year I lost them and never did know why.
Your jungle is thriving.

It's 1 vine growing (well, long ago escaped out the bottom) in a 24 inch pot. It's been there for 5 years... it never freezes back except at the ends a bit, so that may be why it's gotten so large.

Well, if you ever feel like rooting cuttings, I'm sure we can trade. Yesterday I bought Passies Jelly Joker and Aurantia at LOWES!!!!!! The tag says passiflora- "product of Canada" but gives no name. These are blooming gal. size. This flr is wracked out and photos bluer when the actual color is a dark violet. It reflects. Nice plant--I hope it can stand south Louisiana heat from hell.

WOW....what amazing passies. Flicker does it say which company in Canada???

Covington, LA(Zone 8b)

It says that the passiflora were grown for Lowe's Home and Garden stores. And then "product of Canada". I hope a few of the other passies are blooming so I can see if these are more varieties so hard to find in the States.

LOL....no Lowe's here. :( Boy I wish they had the grower's name on the tag.

lovely. everytime i try to grow one from seed it dies or doesnt germinate. so i gave up and look at beautiful pics like this one.

verry pretty



Pam, there's a grower 45 minutes east of me; I've been told they have passifloras - I'm going there on May 28th. Shall I have a look-see for you...??

Moose Jaw, SK(Zone 3b)

Oh yes please!!! Ü You have mail Cristine. :)

Sorry Indigoez for taking over your thread.....different passiflora are sooooooooooo hard to get here (esp. on the prairies).

Floresville, TX(Zone 9a)

That's ok Lilypon. I cam imagine that they are hard to come by up there in zone 3 lol:-)

Imzadi, have you ever tried getting a larger plant instead of seeds? There must be some available in SC...
