Loads of fruit

16 years ago

It seems like every flower on my morifolia and my amethystina cross passies have developed a fruit and it's growing really fast. I have no idea if they contain seeds but they feel "full". At the rate they're growing I think they might even have time to ripen.

Hello, I just wanted to know if the fruit were tasty? I'm trying to discover which ones have palatable fruit.

I have no idea if this fruit will be palatable or not. These plants are from a seed cross of my P. amethystina and ?. If I remember correctly the amethystina fruit wasn't something that you'd want to eat. For such a small flower the fruit is getting pretty big and very heavy. I hope it ripens within the next couple weeks.
