Saw my first fruit this season on my P. incarnata. It was on the ground, so I brought in inside and cut it open. Jelly covered seeds in a hollow shell of a fruit. The jelly tasted and smelled nice, but Is that it? Very disappointed.

Some have more than others,but that's all you get is jelly and seed

Re: passion flower / fruit
 

I hope that I will taste them soon too. Here are the first buds on my P. Incarnata

Im pretty excited to have a bloom on my passion vine!! This pic was taken about a week ago. Im really kind of new to passion vines so I have no ID to it. If someone could help me with ID'ing it, I would really appreciate it! All I know is that it was at a local nursery for 3 dollars which was an amazing price (I cant even get some dirt that cheap!). And if its a cold tolerant type (I know of 2), then what do you suggest for the winter? Its in a pot and its kind of late to put it in the ground so do you think it would do okay indoors and keep it growing, or should I put it in the garage (rarely below freezing, but it gets pretty cold) and let it go dormant in there.
Well anyway, heres the pic!!!

Thanks in advance and Im looking forward to growing lots of other passion vines next year so hopefully I will have more bloom pics to share soon!!

That is Passiflora Cerulea

Thanks Tony! I had a feeling it was Passiflora Cerulea and although I would have liked something a little more exotic, at least it can survive my winters which is a huge plus!

Beautiful, Ante! Congratulations!

Re: passion flower / fruit
 

BTW, has anyone else noticed this? The large black and yellow bumblebees love the passion flowers. It even appears that they crawl in amongst the pollen and sleep, and I have had difficulty awakening them by shaking the vine. As if they were drugged!

Re: passion flower / fruit
 

I think they are drugged

That site is of dubious quality. The two listed varieties of Passiflora are different species and likely different composition of substances.
