Trade seeds for Wild Water Lemon, P. Foetida

12 years ago

I have 3 large P. Foetida, Wild Water Lemon vines growing from dispensed "wild" seed on my property. I have started collecting seeds from mature fruit and would like to add some other Passiflora to the mix if anyone would like to trade seeds. Thanks!

Hi there,

Sorry for waiting so long to send you a response.

Do you have any pictures of the flower of your Passiflora? "Water Lemon" is generally the common name for P. laurifolia, which is far and away different from P. foetida.

We may be interested in setting up a trade depending on your picture.

Thanks!

Eric that's what I thought but when looking online I found several sites listing Wild Water Lemon as foetida. Even Trade Winds lists it as foetida. If it's the same as TW's pic it's a very pretty variety.

Here is a link that might be useful: Trade Winds

Karyn, that's funny. I went to Tradewinds site, and if you search for Passiflora, they also call P. laurifolia "Water Lemon". I hate common names... too much confusion.

I think that maybe Water Lemon is laurifolia, and Wild Water Lemon, foetida, which makes no sense to me. I agree, the common names are too confusing.
