Passionflower - signs of life
This is more of an announcement than a question - in walking round my garden yesterday evening (12 May) I noticed that my young passiflora caerula had finally decided to produce a fresh new shoot. So to all those that have been asking about whether their passion flower is dead - the answer is ' probably not'. I am about level with Oxford so it could be a little while yet before anyone much further north see any signs of new life, particularly with this current cold snap we are experiencing. Hang on in there and lets hope for a fabulous display once it makes up for lost time.
