Re: Passiflora
 

The pictures on this thread are amazing. I love the Passiflora blooms. Just stunning! Kudos to you all.

I've tried twice, unsuccessfully, to germinate both P. edulis and P. incarnata. 0% germination rate. On the last attempt, I tried a 2 day soak in 5% ethanol cider, as that is supposed to help leech out the germination inhibitors from the seeds. Still no joy. :(

I'm wondering if my seed is just too old? I purchased it early this year, but that's no guarantee of viability.

Can anyone point me in the direction for good, fresh seed? This thread has really inspired me. I want to try again.

Re: Passiflora
 

I know someone in Tenn. that sales plants :)

Re: Passiflora
 

Thanks. I may eventually have to go that route, so if you can give me contact info, I'd appreciate that. However, I would really like to raise it from seed though. It's basically a challenge to me now. :)

Re: Passiflora
 

Tony would know best, but the only Passiflora seeds I bought on the internet never germinated. Probably too old. The ones I harvested from a ripe fruit basically all germinated with no special treatment.

Re: Passiflora
 

Well the seed don't necessarily need to be fresh from the fruit. Some seed are empty and won't germinate no matter how fresh.I've germinated passiflora seed that are 3 years old.

Passiflora hybrid

Re: Passiflora
 

OK, my p. incarnata has gotten completely out of hand. Not only is it moving to cover more fence at the speed of a small train, its in the yard, and worse, is now in the neighbor's yard and trees and shrubs. I was hoping she would say she liked it, but she's now moving and I don't see a passiflora infestation as a positive selling point. So if necessary, how do I kill it off? Can I be selective and allow some to stay-or will I just be postponing the inevitable? It covers over 50 feet of fence.Thanks all.

This will never flower but has Pretty Good looking foliage

Re: Passiflora
 

p.foetida

Re: Passiflora
 

why?

Re: Passiflora
 

I've been told it is just one of those hybrids that won't flower . Some have had it for 6 years and no buds.

Re: Passiflora
 

OK you passion flower gurus, I saw this passion flower plant at the store and at first
passed it up, thought about it a while, and had to go back and buy it. I have no
idea what it might be, but I'm pretty sure it is not what it is marked as. The tags are
confusing. The one in the pot says 'Passiflora Edulis'


and the sticker on the pot says 'Passiflora Purp. E. Playboy' which makes me think it may
be a hybrid, or a specific P. edulis cultivar.


I don't think it is a straight P. edulis since if you look at the leaves, they are quite different.
P. edulis has leaves that resemble a 3-fingered mitten, while these are rather heart shaped.
They are also larger than the P. edulis I've seen.




The flower buds are not shaped like P. edulis


And the stems have these flares or wings (like the 'Winged Bean') that I don't see on my P. edulis.






So, I was wondering if even without any blooms yet, someone could give me an idea what it was.
I know I went overboard with the photos, but I wanted to give a complete idea how it looked.

Re: Passiflora
 

P.alata ,Decaisneana or a hybrid. How many petiole glands does it have ?

Re: Passiflora
 

What is a petiole gland, and where would it be found?

Re: Passiflora
 

On the petiole :). The nectar glands ,I can see one has at least 3. The little bumps on the petiole

Re: Passiflora
 

Re: Passiflora
 

Got to check after work. I never noticed those little things. Tks.
(of the ones you mentioned, what would those have?)

Re: Passiflora
 

From 2 to 4.Quadrangularis has 6.

Re: Passiflora
 

After a carful examination of the photos, the number that pops up consistentently is 4, two pairs. The one with 3 looks like one was broken off. I even saw one photo that looked like it may have had 5; two pairs and a 5th small bump that may or may not have been on of those glands. Do any of the ones you mentioned have those 'wings' on the stem?

I wonder how someone would mistake this for P. edulis? I'm not an expert, but it was obviously different. The leaves alone were a dead giveaway.

edit - I went back home and checked it out - it typically has 4 on each petiole. Thanks for the info, now I know of something else to check for when I see passiflora.

Re: Passiflora
 

P.Edulis Alba

Re: Passiflora
 

I think this is P. alata. This is the one that had P. edulis on the tag, but also had Passiflora Purp E. Playboy on the label on the pot. I believe it it is P. alata based on the 'wings' on the stems, or maybe a hybrid because of that name 'Playboy'. Anyone know what distinguishes P. alata from P. decaisneana? Oh, another thing I noticed was that it has three open blooms, and all of them hang straight down. My P. edulis does not do that.
Passiflora alata (?)

Re: Passiflora
 

Sunfish,

Are these all edible hybrids? I am trying to germinate some Passiflora mollissima seeds. Also going to be germinating some Passiflora alata. Beautiful photos!

Re: Passiflora
 

They're not all edible

Re: Passiflora
 

Thanks for the update, I heard Passiflora alata has great tasting fruit. Taster said it tastes like soursop.

Re: Passiflora
 

They are good.Sweeter than purple edulis

Re: Passiflora
 

Thanks for confirming this, can't wait to germinate some seeds :). Currently growing Passiflora 'Mission Dolores', Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa, and Passiflora lutea (for its yellow flowers).

Re: Passiflora
 

I have started a few Mission Dolores from seed but they died on me.
