P.alata is getting close to blooming...............

Meanie, I have only had one flower on my P. Violacea, but have now got two more I think, it has been so slow.

I love 'em too!!

will you try pollinating them to get any fruit?

8 Sep, 2012

 

Not enough time this year Sticki. Not sure if the fruit from this one is any good either............

P. Alata is red isn't it Meanie?....can't wait to see it...:>)

Grandmage - this has been painfully slow, but I had put it down to the fact that I only paid a quid for it as it looked rather sad!

Hopefully next year Sticki!

That's the one Motinot! A right show off that's like a smaller P.quadrangularis.

Stunning flower, where are you growing this one Meanie?

It's in the g/house DD for this year, but I'll move it outdoors next year.

Right....

Lovely! Look to the right....Mollissima....oooh! My 'Perfume Passion' is also being very slow to flower, but I have had to keep pinching out the tips as it was too straggly .....hope I get at least one flower before the winter!

I've found that some Passiflora need more length than others before they bloom Karen. Just a thought.............

Yes, I'm sure that's the case. No sign of any flower buds yet for sure. I need to get a taller support for it as well. I've recently started spray-painting tall canes with black paint and find that works really well as they 'disappear' in the plant much better than a big obelisk.

That's an idea......................
