| Hi,
I want to show you my P. maliformis flower! She bloomed this year in April and I really love her flower. They smells like P. triloba!
If you have any pictures of your flowers this year PLEASE POST THEM HERE! |

| That is a beautiful flower and a great photo as well. |

| Thank you! Have you any Passionflowers this year? |
|
| My vines are just now popping up. Some are in ideal spots and some will be moved. |

| That's very pretty. I hope that my malformis finally blooms this year. I started it from seed almost 2 years ago. |

| Beautiful passies. I'm also surprised that the membranacea flowers are so big. I wonder if I'll ever get mine to bloom? |

| I think you can get yours to bloom if you have a big greenhouse and the volunteer told me that P. membranacea need a big pot to groß flower well! |

| The friend that sent me the membranacea grows his outside and it's quite large but I don't think his has bloomed yet. I might have a problem because I cut my passsies back to get them into the greenhouse in the fall. |

| I need to get some pictures on here... soon! A few comments: - The only P. membranacea that I have seen bloom have been in two different places at Strybing, and one is eating a fence, the other eating a 50 foot tree. They are HUGE! I hope it is possible to get them to bloom smaller, since mine is tiny still, but I am not holding my breath. At least they have cool foliage. - The Passiflora you have labeled above as "P. I don't know" looks just like P. 'Connor Cailean' by Rob McPhail. If I am right, you probably saw him there showing it. It is a hybrid of P. loefgrenii Corupa x P. caerulea. Great plant! Anyway, I will get pics on here in a few days... Eric |

| Eric, Surely you've seen the P. membranacea at Annie's Annuals in Richmond (accross the Bay from SF) in bloom? It's not as big as the other two... I check mine every day for buds--hopefully soon. I'll post even a bud here. Since the request was made for flowers this year I'll post a couple. P. edulis 'Nancy Garrison' (source Grassy Knoll) just opened three flowers today--on adjacent nodes, which I find strange. It has 5 flowers open, it's first of the season, although it looks like one may have been a day ahead of the other 4.
P. loefgrenii (source Strybing) has been blooming for a while, but I can't resist one of those. This is a super plant for those who don't grow it. It forms buds (and long peduncles) on every node. I'd propagate it a lot more if that weren't the case. Open today:

| edit my post ....a big pot to grows and flower well! @eristal Thank you for the information! @mark You're edulis is great! Where do you grow it? @all Which kind of fertilizer do you take for your Passionvines? |
|
| passifreak, Where, geographically? In the SF Bay area, about 45 minutes South of San Francisco. The same climate as San Jose. Where, in the garden? In the ground, next to a North-facing fence. It gets less sun than I would think would be ideal for P. edulis and it blooms and produces well. I've had it for a little less than 2 years. I don't think P. edulis 'Frederick', which is next to it, even has any buds at this point. I just use Miracle Grow for fertilizer, half-strength for things in pots. Fish emulsion occasionally. |

| mark, WOW Awesome! That's very interesting with the fertilizer, because most of the German Enthusiasts use a fertilizer called Hakaphos red, blue and green. But this P. edlis is nice! |

| Weird now the P. loefgrenii pic isn't showing up for me. I saw it this morning. I just love that color combination. |
