My Passiflora alata is getting close, but will the cold weather cause it to drop before it blooms?
Comments on this photo

Me too Hywel, although when I bought it I knew that it needed a good summer to do well.
12 Sep, 2012

12 Sep, 2012
Pricking out Canarina canariensis (google it) to pass the time, so hadn't noticed.
12 Sep, 2012
oh lovely, canary island bell flower? have you been to the canaries?
12 Sep, 2012
A few times!
12 Sep, 2012
never been
do you choose your holiday destinations according to which plants they grow ~ or how hot it will be?
12 Sep, 2012
We have to compromise on how hot - if it was up to me it'd be the far east!
12 Sep, 2012
i think im an arm chair traveller! if it was up to me i would be exploring each and every one of those scottish islands on the west coast!
12 Sep, 2012
Too damned cool for me!!
Need to get away soon, but having to be careful with money a bit since the move. New boiler has just cost an arm and a leg!
12 Sep, 2012
cool and windy ~ so windy there are no trees!!!
maybe last minute dot com have some bargains?
12 Sep, 2012
Next year when I can get what I want...............

Meanie:
That's amazing! Does P.quadrangularis grow there? I thought it was the most tropical of the Passiflora species.
14 Sep, 2012
Stickitoffee:
That's unbelievable! Snow, already? I don't know where Fort William is located...but it seems awful COLD!
The forecasted high here tomorrow is for 100ºF/38ºC. Yuck!!!
14 Sep, 2012
P.quadrangularis grow s here under heated glass - I've posted a few shots of the one at Oxfords botanic gardens.
14 Sep, 2012
Yes, I do remember those pics. So, it only grow under glass. I kind of figured. I know it grows here...however, it only grows well in Southern California...Northern California is too cold for it in winter.
14 Sep, 2012
I have found some seed for P.quadrangularis in a sale - may order them just for the hell of it!
14 Sep, 2012
Go for it : )
14 Sep, 2012
Do I need a Passionflower growing the front room though Stevie???
14 Sep, 2012
Well why not, could bring alot of pleasure : )
14 Sep, 2012
Not too sure that TV's and hifi's would appreciate the high humidity and heavy misting required to keep it happy!
14 Sep, 2012
Delonix ~ Fort William is north west Scotland, very near to Glen Coe and over looked by Scotland's highest mountain Ben Nevis!
http://www.visit-fortwilliam.co.uk/
never mind meanie ~ you could watch the passionflowers instead of the tv!! [it does repeats and series too, i believe, but they are better than tv repeats]

Stickitoffee:
Fort William looks like a beautiful, lush green place. It looks very cold, though. I can't even imagine such cold when it's 11:00 a.m. and already 98ºF (37ºC).
14 Sep, 2012
and they probably cant imagine 98º !!! i expect its one of the coldest places in the UK?
but it is an evocative and stunning location!
14 Sep, 2012
Rarely watch TV anyway Sticki..............
15 Sep, 2012
I had a feeling that would be the case! I wouldn't miss the tv but I would miss my computer!
