Clare,are you sure about this vareity?
It doesn't seem to look a lot like the one in my book passion flowers of the world,close,but not quite the same.
Platyloba Passiflora ?
another shot

Definately is not Platyloba, I can send a pic when I get home, mine is in bloom. It does however look like it could be Sprucei.

Hi Mark,
I t looked like Sprucei to me also.
Very sweet fragrance so much it hurts my nose to smell!
Sprucei is very sweet. I just realized that I forgot to send my pic, I'll look for it tonight.

Ah, Don! I hardly ever make it over to this forum anymore! Your cuttings must have gotten mixed up! That is definitely my P. sprucei! Sorry about that! (Sprucei is on the right here.)
Here is my P. platyloba. So sorry, darlin'.
Things happen,don't worry about it,I like it too!
Did I get you hooked on Epis now!!!!
Another beautiful one to look for. I don't know if I've seen seeds for this one.
:) Donna
Oh, good, Don. Yes! I love my epi's -- especially your white night-blooming fragrant one! Hugs:-)
Hi Donna! I don't think either one sets seeds. I think many of the hybrid cultivars are sterile. You would have to get a rooted cutting anyway to ensure that you get the same cultivar as most passiflora seeds don't come true. The ones that do set seeds have to be crossed with a different passiflora in order to set seeds.
Oh that's right....zostropz I think told me that one time.

OH, so much to learn!
