Red Passion Flower. I can't recall the name of it. I fertilized with 13-13-13 earlier and it has runners going in every direction. Some 20' or so.

Just beautious! Don't you just love how they almost look fake? Very tropical and eye-catching! I have a Lavendar Lady that likes to "get out of hand" but I didn't think the red ones would- lovely!

With all due respect, Paul, I'm leaning towards P. vitifolia. The leaves just don't seem quite right for Lady Margaret (if I'm wrong, it certainly wouldn't be the first time!).

Jim...that is a real Beauty..sounds like your 13-13-13 did the trick along with those green thumbs of yours...Jeanne

Erick, I think you're right. I was trying to figure out the different between vitifolia and coccinea, is it the leaves? Here's a pic of the vitifolia Logees sold me with just one "tip" or lobe leaves. And some of the coccinea pic I found have 3 "tipped" or lobed leaves.... Even in DG plant files I think I found both leaf types under the same flower.....

Passiflora Lady Margaret is a hybrid created by crossing P. coccinia and P. incarnata.

Thanks for all the comments and the id. I did a search on Vitifolia and it does look like it. I used to have Alata and kept it in a pot and brought it in every winter and I leave this one out. The Alata died last year for some reason. Wish I had put it in the ground also. This one never makes any fruit for some reason. I have Incarnata and pulled about 20 fruits from it today.

AuntB and Paul, I have never grown vitifolia, but I have grown Lady M and coccinea. I am no expert by any means, but my coccinea leaves are much longer and not so lobed. For Lady M, the flower is quite different.

Congratulations Georgiaredclay. Your Passiflora is gorgeous!

It absolutely is not Lady Margaret. It is either Coccinea or Vitifolia but I don't believe I have ever seen a Coccinea with anything more than a single lobe. I know some pics show trilobe, but they are probably Vitifolia that are mis-identified. Hope this helps.
