Passion Flower by ubobohobo

Passion Flower

This is the third flower on a new yellow passionfruit vine I planted in December. The little tiny fruit is already visible. I've been looking forward to a vitamen C fix from my own homegrown fruit. But if it is like the other two earlier flowers it will fall off and not set. I'm very disappointed. My research today has found I needed two vines for bees to be able to cross pollinate the flowers of the yellow passionfruit. Oh well, guess I'll just have to enjoy these beautiful flowers until next growing season.
It is certainly a beautiful flower. Only thought you needed one. Did you get a nellie kelly.

Great pic. I have tried growing passionfruit a few times. Even with two plants. Never works....

It's a truly exotic flower - good enough to be in botanical garden! I do hope you're successful. I have grown them in the UK before from the seeds of a wizened fruit I pinched off an overhanging vine. They were moderately successful but I don't have the vine any more.

This is beautiful. The passionflowers grew wild in Mississippi where I grew up but we didn't know they were etible. The fruit was white inside. I didn't know there was a yellow variety.
