Look how little she is!
Look how little she is!
Just a little over an inch across. Vine has lots of buds.
Looks like Morifolia. It will have fruits for you too. Seeds grow easily but it tastes like shhhhhh, well, you know.

i grew one of these for the first time my self this year. they are so cute and i loved it.
the fruit is messy as seeds are in a orange goo. fruit will turn purple when ready. goes from green to purple.
i will try to find my thread as someone gave me wonderful advice on cleaning seeds if you havent ever had one before.
oh i love little plants. that's as cute as the itty bitty datura. :)
Cute as a bug in a rug!!!
:-) proud mama here!
LOLOL I grew that 1 last summer too. The flowers are so pretty but also very hard to find to enjoy. I ended up getting rid of this 1 due to it's huge vines and lack of visible flowers. Almost every flower is hiding behind aleaf or too darnit.
I came online today to post a few passiflora pics...If you think this P. Morifolia has small flowers....Wait till you see this P. Lutea. I found a bloom for the 1st time yesterday and I thought it was a spider!
I took this picture first then another with a tape measurer so you can see how tiny it really it is.
Check it out
These flowers are closer to 1/4 to 1/3 the size of Morifolia. I'm not sure if I can justify keeping it around.
I'm starting a new thread with a bunch of misc. Passiflora pictures if you'd like a look.
Thanks, JD
Wow! Those are tiny, JD.

They're so tiny, I thought it was a spider as I passed it by that day.LOL
I'm always begging my wife(she thinks my passiflora addiction is becoming a problem and isn't impressed at all) to come look at a new passiflora bloom when a new cutting finally blooms. Well when I showed her this flower, she just fell into her chair laughing and laughing. Needless to say, she wasn't the least bit impressed. Well she was impressed in a way. Impressed by my "massive waste of time and space" working with this 1. LOL
Oh well.
JD
Too Funny!
Glad you are enjoying the passis.
This is my first year with them. I take everyone out to the yard and show them, too....LOL
My brother moved in with us recently and he commented to my husband about me taking him out to show him my "babies"....LOL
It is addicting.
Happy Planting and Parenting!

How long does it take for fruit to ripen?
Does frost effect the ripening process?

p.s. I have one ripe fruit and a few others turning.
I have tons of green fruit.

the fruit usually takes a few weeks. it starts out green then turns purple. the seeds are in a sticky orange stuff. you really have to rub hard with paper towels to get it off then you let dry for a few days.
