Passiflora Gilbertiana (passiflora)

How happy am I ???

Only just discovered that it was flowering last night!! Full of buds and the daintiest little flowers imaginable. These two were flowering last night, and this morning there are 23 flowers open !!

Is it in a greenhouse Andrew? It's absolutely stunning! I used to collect p/flowers at my old garden but one by one I let them all go because indoors they make such a mess on the floor! I've never seen this one before and it's fantastic, looks like it's from another planet! :))

I know, nannymargaret, can you imagine having a tropical room to hang out in during the winter months? Wow! I'd never need to go on holiday again! ;))

You and me both Karen,does that mean these are not growing in the garden.I felt left out LOL as I've got a passion flower climbing through a holly bush ,but all I've got is two blooms waiting to open ( well i hope ) do they like a sunny place in the garden as mine is more in the shade???.So much to learn LOL.

They usually do well in part shade NM. I had mine in almost full shade and it did ok, flowered well. it was the hardy white one. Mmmm...not sure where you're going wrong there..could it be dry?

Well, perhaps that's all it is NM. I never got a flower before sep/oct on mine when I had it. I was at Edinburgh botanic gardens yesterday and I saw a huge one, sprawling over about 10m in all directions and not a single flower on it! Luckily the foliage is really beautiful too!
