Yes it certainly is, Bik! It's popped up in my shadehouse garden and I haven't had the heart to pull it up just yet.

Unfortunately this Passiflora takes over very quickly. As we haven't had our usual wet season, the growth has been slower than usual and that's the reason I've kept it for this long. It will have to go though!

Yes you're so right, Marguerite, this thing is starting to take over the corner of the shadehouse where it sprang up. It's going to have to be pulled out next weekend. I can't delay it any longer.

Yep, thanks Marguerite. It's first on the list for this weekend's chores.

We pay good money for this here!

After the recent arrival of the rain, these are starting to pop up in my garden again. I wish I could just send them on over to you. I would definitely give them away for free.

I have enough Passiflora at the moment. I received a cutting of this earlier this year................
