I just thought I'd let people in Northern California know that one of the monthly Strybing sales is this Saturday at 10:00 A.M.

It's a great way to expand your collection with good sized plants that are more often than not blooming size, and frequently in bud. Prices for most things are $15, with a few $18 or $20.

I've bought the following at the monthly sales: P. x exoniensis, P. x exoniensis x parritae, P. parritae, P. loefgrenii Iporanga, P. gritensis, "P. parritae x caerulea 'Constance Eliot'", P. 'Mission Dolores', and perhaps one or two that I'm forgetting. I'm sure Eric's list is much longer.

If they don't have something you are looking for you can always ask, and sometimes they'll run back and get it for you. The true experts man the Passiflora (and other) tables, and they can answer just about any question you have. These sales are not to be missed.

Of course they sell many plants that are not Passifloras. Even the sales featuring a certain type of plant sell the whole range.

This P. x exoniensis was a $15 plant last March, in a 1 gallon pot, in bud:
