| Hello everyone,
Got the first bloom today on my seed-grown P. miersii. The flowers are medium sized. Lots more buds on the plant too! Mark

| Very nice. The corona is really colorful and almost like an optical illusion if you look at it for a time. lol |

| This is my first time to post a message here and I am so happy I now have somewhere to "talk" to people about gardens and nature. I have or HAD a big full Passionvine but the Fritillaries have managed to shred it over the summer. This plant is about a year old, and has only had ONE beautiful passionflower on it!! What am I doing wrong? Could it be the butterflies? |

| The caterpillars probably ate any buds that were forming. I like caterpillars and would just plant more passion vines. I'd plant vines to use as a caterpillar food and just relocate the caterpillars from vines that you want to keep caterpillar free onto them. You'll likely have to plant a number of vines because the GF cats are voracious eaters as you've found out. |
