Something new and different..

This is Passiflora costaricacensis. I got a small cutting last oct and now the plant is huge and has tons of buds coming on.The flowers won't be huge but are a white with a colored corolla. Very fuzzy bat wing shaped leaves that get really big.

:-)

Kyle,

Very cool. Is this plant similar to P. coriacea? I had that one years ago and it was remarkable primarily for it's bat-like foliage. The flowers, though very interesting, were rather small.

Thank you for sharing the picture.

Erick, the leaves are different then P. Coriacea. I will take a better pic on Weds. of the whole plant for you to see.
:-)

Kyle please post pictures as soon as those buds open. I did a google search and came up with nothing!!

Heres a pic of a leaf shape

Heres the whole plant in a 3 gal pot

Love those leaves!! Patiently waiting to see the flowers :o)

Kyle, that is a gorgeous plant. I really like the large, felted-looking leaves. A real showpiece - Congratulations!

Digging around online, I came across information on Passiflora costaricensis. Could that be the same as yours?

I, too, look forward to seeing pictures of the flowers.

Erick

so I spelled mine wrong..**SHRUGGING** :-) LOL Erick its the same one.

Thanks For the correct spelling Eric now I know why I could not find anything on it. Kyle that is a georgeous plant all the same.

Heres the flower pic. 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter and no discernable fragrance so far.Lasts one day.

That is a most novel Passiflora; well grown, Kyle.

Could you add this species and your excellent pictures into PlantFiles, please? (For the betterment of the world and such)
