Kell,

I think they are the holy grail of Passifloras, and they are threatened with extinction in the wild. Thank you for sharing the pics!

Berkeley Botanical sells them. I am going to get another but I really have no tall trees for it to grow up on. If it goes on the roof my husband will kill me.

Have you ever seen one in person Erick? They have the best color!

Hello Kell.

Unfortunately, no, I have never seen one in person. I imagine they are spectactular. I would love to have one someday, but I know it would be a real challenge for me to grow. I am not a Passiflora expert, just a big fan of them.

Erick
