Absolutely beautiful! I'm getting a bit impatient for my passiflora to start taking off, it's taking a while to actually grow as a vine should. (rampant and lush)

What's your secret?
I have a couple of hardy blue passion vines that are growing like crazy (crawling all over my garden arch and down the chain link fence) and flowering soooo nicely but all the blossoms fall off. And I know the bees are all over the flowers because I can't get too close because of the swarms.
And yes I know the blues are not supposed to be very edible but it would be nice to see some fruit anyway.....

Passiflora caerulea is not self compatible/fertile. Those bee's need to bring in pollen from another P.caerulea.
BTW I hand pollinated all the fruit on the plant you see above.

I actually have three unrelated vines that intertwine at the top of the arch (two smaller one on one side and the third going crazy on the other side) but I guess the bees are either not doing their job and/or are not visiting the right plants......I will try hand pollinating between them
Thanks :)

Sunfish, I have a question for you.....
You seems to be very knowledgeable when it comes to passion vines. Can any two passion vines be cross pollinated?
I also have a Lady Amethyst vine p. amethyst in the back yard; could I cross pollinate the two and get something ?

No not all passion flowers cross. P.caerulea pollen will work on many passion flowers. Is that lady Margaret ?. For sure P.caerulea will work on Lady Margaret and amethyst. Now no two P.caerulea are the same unless they are from cuttings so if one caerulea does not work try another one. Very few other plants will pollinate caerulea I have never gotten anything to work except another caerulea. I would get out there with a little brush and pollen from Caerulea and hand pollinate every flower you see. It only takes 2 to 3 days to see if it worked.

I will get the artist brush out and try crossing them, and yes it is Lady Lavendar, "Lady Amethyst" is just the printed name the tag......you know how common/generic names get passed around and changed ;)
While I have you, what about p. incarnate (maypop), can they be crossed with either of what I have, or would I even want to try? I have managed to start a couple from seed but they are only a couple of inches tall right now so it might be a while.....

P.caerulea pollen on P. incarnata works but not every time . Incarnata and incarnata but not every time. Of the plants you have incarnata is the one that will give good tasting edible fruit. Passiflora incarnata (http://www.passionflow.co.uk/passiflora-incarnata.htm)

Many passion vines will grow to 60' in two years. The do not need any more water than any other plant does.

Passiflora edulis
Sims, 1818
Passiflora edulis is a vine species of passion flower that is native to Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina (Corrientes and Misiones provinces, among others). Its common names include passion fruit (US), passionfruit (UK and Commonwealth), and purple granadilla (South Africa).
It is cultivated commercially in warmer, frost-free areas for its fruit and is widely grown in Antigua, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, the Caribbean, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, East Africa, Ecuador, Haiti, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Israel, Mexico, New Zealand, Panama, Peru, Portugal (Madeira), Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, South Africa, United States (California, Florida, Hawaii), Venezuela, Philippines, Malaysia.
The passion fruit is round to oval, either yellow or dark purple at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds.[1] The fruit is both eaten and juiced; passion fruit juice is often added to other fruit juices to enhance the aroma.[2]

Varieties[edit]
Several distinct varieties of passion fruit with clearly differing exterior appearances exist. The bright yellow flavicarpa variety, also known as the Golden Passion Fruit, can grow up to the size of a grapefruit, has a smooth, glossy, light and airy rind, and has been used as a rootstock for the Purple Passion Fruit in Australia.[3] The dark purple edulis variety is smaller than a lemon, though it is less acidic than the yellow passion fruit, and has a richer aroma and flavour.
The purple varieties of the fruit have been found to contain traces of cyanogenic glycosides in the skin.[4]

In Australia and New Zealand, where it is called "passionfruit", it is available commercially both fresh and tinned. It is added to fruit salads, and fresh fruit pulp or passion fruit sauce is commonly used in desserts, including as a topping for pavlova (a regional meringue cake) and ice cream, a flavouring for cheesecake, and in the icing of vanilla slices. A passionfruit-flavoured soft drink called Passiona has also been manufactured in Australia since the 1920s.
In Brazil, the term maracujá applies to passion fruit (maracujá azedo, or "sour") and granadillo (maracujá doce, or "sweet"). Passion fruit mousse is a common dessert, and passion fruit pulp is routinely used to decorate the tops of cakes. Passion fruit juice, ice pops and more recently soft drinks are also very popular. When making caipirinha, it is usual to use passion fruit instead of lime; it is then called maracujá. It is used also as a mild sedative, and its active ingredient is commercialized under several brands, most notably Maracugina.
In Colombia, it is one of the most important fruits, especially for juices and desserts. It is widely available all over the country and three kinds of "maracuyá" fruit may be found.
In the Dominican Republic, where it is locally called chinola, it is used to make juice and Fruit preserves. Passion fruit-flavoured syrup is used on shaved ice, and the fruit is also eaten raw, sprinkled with sugar.
In Indonesia, there are two types of passionfruit (local name: markisa), white flesh and yellow flesh. The white one is normally eaten straight as a fruit, while the yellow variety is commonly strained to obtain its juice, which is cooked with sugar to make thick syrup. Bottles or plastic jugs of concentrated syrup (generally produced in Sumatra from fruit grown in the Lake Toba region[citation needed]) are sold in many supermarkets. Dilution of one part syrup to four (or more) parts water is recommended.
In Israel, passion fruit is used to make fruit wine.[citation needed]
In Mexico, passion fruit is used to make juice or is eaten raw with chilli powder and lime.
In Paraguay, passion fruit is used principally for its juice, to prepare desserts such as passion fruit mousse, cheesecake, ice cream, and to flavour yogurts and cocktails.
In Peru, passion fruit is used in several desserts, especially cheesecakes. Passion fruit juice is also drunk on its own and is used in ceviche variations and in cocktails, including the Maracuyá Sour, a variation of the Pisco Sour.
In the Philippines, passion fruit is commonly sold in public markets and in public schools. Some vendors sell the fruit with a straw to enable sucking out the seeds and juices inside. It is not very popular because of its sour flavour, and the fruit is very seasonal.
In Portugal, especially the Azores and Madeira, passion fruit is used as a base for a variety of liqueurs and mousses.
In Puerto Rico, where the fruit is known as "parcha", it is widely believed to lower blood pressure,[5] probably because it contains harmala alkaloids and is a mild RIMA.[citation needed] Passion fruit juice is also very common there and is used in juices, ice cream or pastries.
In South Africa, passion fruit, known locally as Granadilla (the yellow variety as Guavadilla), is used to flavour yogurt. It is also used to flavour soft drinks such as Schweppes' "Sparkling Granadilla" and numerous cordial drinks. It is often eaten raw or used as a topping for cakes and tarts. Granadilla juice is commonly available in restaurants. The yellow variety is used for juice processing, while the purple variety is sold in fresh-fruit markets.
In Sri Lanka, passion fruit juice, along with faluda, is one of the most popular refreshments. Passion fruit cordial is manufactured both at home as well as industrially by mixing the pulp with sugar. There are many cordial manufacturers, suppliers and exporters in the country.[6]
In Thailand, passion fruit is called "saowarot" (Thai: เสาวรส). The fruit is eaten whole and is also commonly juiced and drunk. Young shoots are cooked in curries or eaten with nam phrik.[citation needed]
In the United States, it is often used as an ingredient in alcoholic beverages[7][8] and juice mixes. In Hawaii, passion fruit is called lilikoi and comes in yellow and purple varieties.
Passion fruit can be cut in half and the seeds scooped out with a spoon. Lilikoi-flavoured syrup is a popular topping for shave ice. It is used as a dessert flavouring for malasadas, cheesecakes, cookies, ice cream and mochi. Passion fruit is also favoured as a jam or jelly, as well as a butter. Lilikoi syrup can also be used to glaze or marinade meat and vegetables.[9] Most passion fruit comes from backyard gardens or is collected from the wild. While it may be found at farmers' markets throughout the islands, fruits are seldom sold in grocery stores.
In Vietnam, passion fruit is blended with honey and ice to create refreshing smoothies.
In Cambodia, passion fruit is called "machu bey-darch", and the plant vine grows in the wild. Bushes hang with green to yellow round fruits, measuring from 2.5 cm to 4 cm when ripe. This wild variety of passion fruit tastes slightly different but is still quite sour.
In India, the government of Andhra Pradesh started growing passion fruits in the Chintapalli (Vizag) region forests to make them available to the local people. The fruit is found in the jungles of Assam and is known to local people as "lota bel".
In Costa Rica, it is known as "Estococa". The fruit grows in the wild and it is commonly used for juice. It is considerably smaller than the Maracuyá.
Nutrition[edit]
Fresh passion fruit contains provitamin A beta carotene, vitamin C (36%), dietary fiber (42%) and iron (12%) in significant quantities as percent of the Daily Value; the vitamin A content converted from provitamin A sources is 25%.[10] Passion fruit juice is a good source of potassium, possibly making the fruit relevant as a nutrient source for lowering risk of high blood pressure.[11] Preliminary research indicated that consuming passion fruit peel may relieve asthma symptoms.[12] One report showed that the fruit pericarp contains lycopene.[13]
