This is Passiflora aurantia, the first day the flowers are salmon colored the fade to a sandy tan color the second day.These two flowers were on the same stem today. One from this morning, the other was open yesterday.

The two day passiflora
That is very special! Love the contrast.
Any special tips about overwintering passiflora? I have a bunch in pots that are outside right now, but will have to come in this winter.

Rox, I keep mine in the greenhouse at work, they keep growing so not sure how to tell you to overwinter at home..
I have a room that has a jacuzzi and three sides are windows (south and east facing). I can keep it about 65F and fairly high humidity. Will that be sufficient?

Wow, never saw one of those, pretty cool.
wow is right April. Beautiful Passiflora
Wow! That is fabulous! I just looked that puppy up and it looks like it was native to Australia......should do well in AZ!
OH MY, lovely! I like the fact they bloom more than a day. Rox, I think that should work wonderfully, it'll love the light (might check your type with the minimum temps it likes, to be sure). I keep Lady Margaret in my dining room south french doors, I do lose a few leaves, but she still puts out a few blooms throughout winter..
I was just thinking the same thing Lynn LOL!! Have you located aplace to purchase it yet?
Marie :o)
LOL! I will put it on my list and look for it next year, you have a problem....you need help! Still LOL
Me a problem? Need help? No you have the wrong person. Although I do know this plant
obsessed person named Lynn. She really could use a 20 step program. (no 12 step would not be enough) :o)

Too bad not available :o(
Oh sorry about that! I did the search on search page and pulled it up- it didn't indicate not available. :-((
Lynn your job to find it. :o)
Well I will tell you that I did that brief search, yes I am an enabler, and most of the sites were in australia- as if you wouldn't have guessed.
Hmmm wonder if I could figure out how to get one here???? Any Australian natives that are enablers....
Ok Eclipse where did you get yours?
Someone gave it to me a couple of years ago. I do have fresh seed.

I would love some seeds !! Not sure if I have anything you want. I think all I have collected right now is Stuart's Desert pea, some native pipevine and Merrimia Disecta (not sure on spelling). Are they hard to germinate from seed (I pretty much fail at seeds but I am not giving up!)
