thank you everyone. I've had yucky greenhouses in the past but I found something to attach the clear covering on with so maybe I can get some nice vines to flower next year. Wish me luck.

Pics of your passies, please?
Beautiful!!
Great picture between you and mark I may need a green house just for passifloras!!!
Me too! Your passies are just beautiful! My Lady M is still growing and has another fruit!
Any one have this one seeds cuttings ? Passiflora mixta
Gordo beautiful colors on your two! My Lady M cuttings didn't survive..sniff, sniff. I think but I'm hoping not but I might have lost my Lady Lavender. This would be my fourth winter in the basement. I hope I didn't lose it.

Neither my large Lady Margaret, nor my mother's, whose looked even better than mine, have survived inside. :-(
Oh shoot! I feel for you.

This is such a great thread. Sadly I only have pictures left to show for my passiflora collection. I went from over 20 of them down to maybe 5 if I'm lucky. I have belotti and lavender lady in pots and incarnata, blue and white caerulea's in the ground. The caerulea's have come back up for the past 3 mild winters but this current winter has been so brutally cold, they maybe history darnit.
Here is 1 blue bouquet
Here is a collage I made with a few more
I forget which 1 this is. I sure miss her
Heres my P. Belotti. I think she will pull through
Lovely Lavender Lady that has always performed so well for me. She's looking pretty rough right now but she'll pull through I hope
1 of my Incarnata's that has grown from a tiny sprig dug out of a ditch in S. Oklahoma and now rules the fence line. I think this 1 has slightly hybridized as I now have many many different vines that vary a bunch in size and hues. I wouldn't be suprised since there used to be a abundance of different passie's that were always being pollenated by carpender bee's. I had never seen a carpender bee until I started collecting passiflora's, now they show up everywhere on my flowers. I'm told they're quite destructive with decks and wooden fences, not mine thank goodness.
another incarnata thats just a little different
P. Incense or purple haze? What do you think?
White Caerulea aka Constance Elliot
A Morifolia I believe. I culled this 1 a couple years ago. It's vine was out of control and the flowers were always tiny and hidden behind the leaves so I let her go.
P. Caerulea aka Hardy Blue. We'll see how hardy she is this spring;)
Jeff! Hi, how is your winter going?? I'm suffering cabin fever.. I did get out on the deck last week end when it was nice and repotted a few babies I've been growing this winter... It was GREAT getting dirt under my fingernails, again! I still have 4 hibiscus growing in my livingroom. They've all put out most welcome blooms this winter. I'm really enjoying them and the pics you posted here. Been very busy at work this winter (cuts into my DG time,lol). Hope you and Tracy are doing good.
I think the pic above Constance is Purple haze..... I'm wanting some pink passies this year, and all the mail order places (for starter plants) are sold out... Guess I'll start looking in January next year. Another generous DG'er sent me an Indigo Dream and I managed to murder it this winter. It's nice spending a little more time on DG this week. I better get busy- looking forward to the growing season-AuntB
My sapphire from last summer.
Sorry wrong photo. That was a photo from the internet. THIS one is my sapphire.
Pretty, fancyflea. I like your pic better, stunning!
Thanks AuntB..
Can we get this thread up again? I would love to see anything new ya'll have.
Dioes anyone know of a pssi that has fuzzy leaves and vine? I saw the foetida does but i don't think this is that. Foetida appears to be fuzzier?
Just bought from Wally world and it is marked incarnata
Here is my newest blooms..can anyone confirm what it is
Side view
Nice pics. I hate the mis-labeling at these darn stores! I've bought the wrong passie so many times, never once getting the one I was wanting.
That to me looks to be Lavender Lady IMO, def. not Incarnata.
Try comparing it to the older pics I posted above, you may find a match.
I wished I had some pics to share, my passies are way behind schedule this season and I can't figure out why. I've had P. Incarnata running wild all over my yard for a good 6-8 years now. They call it Maypop as it comes up in May like clockwork I'm told. Mine is always a little later than but this year its just now coming up thick. I thought I had lost most all of it due to a freak late freeze. Luckily it proved me wrong. I'd usually have miles of vine and hundreds of blooms by now, this year it's just now a few feet long. I guess I should just be happy it came back at all;)
Let me know if you agree with my guess of your new passie.

I did guess Lavendar Lady when i looked at the other posts earlier today. Just amazed I got this from a Home Depot. That would be too cool!!

Lavendar Lady was my first thought when I seen it. Mine is on its 2nd "flush" of blooms. KS/MO's late spring freeze this year has effected a lot of my plantage. Jeff, the hibbies you gave me are doing wonderful. I have pics on my camera, but no time to download to the computer right now. Very busy summer.
Maydreams, look up on this post to 8/12/06 from Eclipse, a pic of P. Nephroides that has very pretty pink blooms w/fuzzy leaves... I also have seen posts of this years blooms on the vines forum...
Oooohhhh! Very cool. I would really prefer this one that the foetida, Vanilla scented sounds better than goat smell.
Thanks AuntB for boosting my hope. Now to wait for a flower :)

This is my old faithful P. incarnata. It's crawling off the trellis up the side of the house. Will have to take a pix of me standing beside it tomorrow & posting it. It has one fruit on it. Hardy in PA zone 6b.
I see a lot of variation between one Passiflora incarnata & another in a different zone. Anybody know why? Anybody belong to the Nat'l Passiflora society?

Here is another old faithful I grow in the greenhouse & put outside for the summer. P. caerulea. If I can get it to bloom again, I may try crossing it with p. incarnata.
Well, after looking at all these beautiful pictures, you have motivated me to join the internat'l Passiflora society again. I just hope they still have a seed bank. Any ideas on where I can get Passiflora seeds of different cultivars? Thanks.
I just found out about the P Society and am excited as the next meeting is here at Butterfly world In September. I did find out they still havea seed bank and got the newest updated list yesterday. I am so excited to here about this!!!

Buttoneer,
Check out the listings on ebay--there are quite a few seeds posted there. Also, check out Mauro Peixoto's website (brazilplants.com). I've ordered from him twice, and have gotten the seeds within 2 or 3 weeks. His packets are $3.00 each and have 15 seeds. I think he has a $20.00 minimum order, but that was not a problem for me either time that I ordered. He has plenty of aristolochia seeds as well. He sends you a paypal invoice, so it is easy to send the payment (if you have a paypal account of course).
Flutter, please let us know what you think of the Passiflora society seed bank and their newsletter. I've considered joining, but don't know what they really have to offer.
Thanks!

I was going to put this picture in the what's wrong with my passi..long plant with only two flowers..
OK.. I'm impatient.. it looks like it won't be much longer.. but itseems oh so slow this year..
this was trellised in my hallway all winter.. an I got a few winter flowers..on and off.. I put the plant out with maybe three 10 'vines.. it seems forever ago.. after a week or two.. under the newshade cloth.. I strung it to the top of my fence... then ran fish line from the top of the fence.. up to the top of the TV antenna.. whhere it is about 1/3 of the way up there now.. and finally two flowers...
the looks of the budding.. I should have piles of flowers... maybe 15 flowers / foot of vine .. this is clear sky... but it looks liike the passi on the other side of the fence now.. I can't recall having two clear skys.. perhaps one wanted to flower like the other ... two seem almost identicle now... Lady Margret on the other end... has still yet to get flowers.. but there are a few buds forming now also .. so there is hope... there also..
I never thought I had enough real sun to merit a shade cloth.. this far north.. but it has ment an easier time for everyone in comming up to full sun.. more OT picturtes in the next post of another shade cloth success story.. my night blooming cereus... blooming about 5 flowers a night.. with a new five the next tight ... all week long.. you do the math.. plenty of flowers... about on a par with my rose bushes... and from a NBC up north..
