Nov 15 I found this pleasant surprise after putting the christmas lights up and wanted to share! Greenhouse day time temps in the high 70's(lots of sun) night temps haven't gone below 50F yet, It's perfect! There are about a dozen blooms yet to open. It's funny the plant has given me 2 flowers in the past month and now this :) Thanks for looking.

It'll be interesting to see how long they will continue to flower in the greenhouse.

We are just now getting temps of 5C at night but my Passiflora caerulea (which is growing over an arbor in the front yard) is STILL flowering - not as profuse as a couple of months ago but still a pleasant surprise to see against the bare trees :)

more buds forming by the day. Yes it sure will be. If I base it off of weather, it should go into December. I'll keep this updated
I'm glad to hear you still have some going! I bet it still looks beautiful!

Global Warming.... It's warm down here in Southern California in November 80* and 90* Now starting to cool down to the upper 70's. Nice flower pictures!

Beautiful. Do you have any varieties that make edible fruit?

Just this kind but I haven't seen any fruit. I have hand pollinated before most recently in November and nothing.

For the pollination and for getting fruit of the passiflora family you have to do Cross pollination .
So by the same kind of passiflora another plant with other parents.

you can also buy a self pollination Passiflora Edullis.

oh wow thanks!! The eBay seeds were a bust. I think spring would be better (March) if that's alright with you?
