My 2nd plant of Passiflora Piresii. This one has more red in the blooms, and is a larger plant.

Passiflora Piresii - my 2nd plant. More red than the first one.

Vitifolia

Re: Passiflora
 

I believe that is one of the parents, but it was marked as P. Piresii, and I'm not experienced enough to know one from another. I know they look similar, but that's about all I know. If a cross is made isn't there some variation in the progeny so that some resemble one parent while some resemble the other, and some have characteristics of both? In orchids that is how it works; some are almost identical to one parent or the other, and the majority have a mixture of both parents to varying degrees.

Re: Passiflora
 

It is p.vitifolia 3 lobed leaves, Doesn't piresii have single lobe ?

Re: Passiflora
 

p.vitifolia 3 lobed leaves ,white corona

Re: Passiflora
 

I saw a photo on-line of a P. Piresii with large single-lobe leaves now that you mention it, but if you remember the first one I posted, the one that was more orange tinted, and I did know what it was until you providd a name? Well, that one is getting longer now, too. The new leaves are beginning to show the three lobed trait, too. I'll see if I can get a photo of it.

P.Vitifolia fruit. Vitifolia does not self all these fruit contain hybrid seed:0519:

Re: Passiflora
 

nice color!!

Re: Passiflora
 

Oddball albino flower

Re: Passiflora
 

You are right about the coronas, the orange one has no white in the corona, but the larger plant does have white. Is it possible that it is still a hybrid, but just exhibits the traits of the P. vitifolia parent? I'm not stuck on the hybrid aspect either way, I wanted P. vitifolia at some point anyway.

Re: Passiflora
 

Sure it could be a hybrid.

Plants of Hawaii: passiflora coccinea

Re: Passiflora
 

Interesting link. The plant that I thought was P. mollissima is actually called P. tarminiana. There is apparently a beautiful white one, P. subpeltata, that I want to locate. The reddish one I just got resembles P. miniata, P. incarnata x miniata, or P. vitifolia more than a P. Piresii, with the color leaning more to the P. miniata, but a few petals fold back like the P. vitifolia so I'm not sure about what it really is.

Tks for that link. Lots of banana pictures, but not much info on the varieties they were. The Koa'e (Ae Ae) and Iholena plants were pretty obvious, but the others could be anything.

Re: Passiflora
 

One of my hybrids

Re: Passiflora
 

OK, since the incarnata is so successful that I have to kill it off before it devours the entire house and garden, are there any other possibilities for zone 7a that are less obstreperous? Cerulea seems to go like crazy too. Otherwise I have to just put out in pots so I can easily move them inside for the winter.

I hope to be better luck with incarnata this time

Re: Passiflora
 

Is that plant from seed I sent ? That is amazing growth.My seed must be special :ha::ha::ha:

Re: Passiflora
 

Oh yes, its from your seed.
Course, and some woodoo yada:ha:

Re: Passiflora
 

Passiflora Piresii - vine is considerably larger with darker healthier looking leaves. Continues t
to crank out blooms, but never see any sign of fruit. Maybe needs another plant to breed with.

Re: Passiflora
 

Yes

Re: Passiflora
 

Sunfish,

What are your best fruiting and eating quality Passiflora for your location?

Re: Passiflora
 

Passiflora Edulis Frederick is the best. P.alata and P.phoenica second best. Frederick is easier to grow is self fertile and self pollinates

Re: Passiflora
 

Ahhh, I see...

I'll bet it would be 'real' happy growing right next to my P. vitifolia (or possible P. vitifolia cross) for some 'birds & bees' type relations. :03:

Re: Passiflora
 

None chemical germination

Re: Passiflora
 

Re: Passiflora
 

I do not believe anyone in the U.S. has true P.phoenicea. They're all going to be crosses with another passiflora.

Re: Passiflora
 

Just picked up some Passiflora 'Fredericks' from HD. :)

Re: Passiflora
 

This plant has been grown for many years as Passiflora alata 'Ruby Glow' but more recently been identified as a species, Passiflora phoenicea,
There is p.alata and (p.alata ,ruby glow) Phoenicea. Two different plants,both very similar,flower s are almost identical,fruit is shaped different but taste the same. Not trying to be a smart a$$ just letting you know. You can find p.alata seed but not (p.alata ruby glow) phoenicea seed.

Re: Passiflora
 

Lovely

Re: Passiflora
 

I'm giving Passiflora caerulea another shot. This time I'm going to try germinating them outside. I put several seeds in each pot, watered them in, and then covered it with a compost-perlite mixture. Hopefully it will do the trick this time, as the seeds are fresh.



I also managed to get some pictures of the parent plant's flowers.





Absolutely stunning!

Re: Passiflora
 

I put them in my dog's food and let them decide where to plant.
Yesterday after harvesting some bananas, I looked up to find this.
The ground was covered with hundreds.
Dogs are great.

Re: Passiflora
 

Any idea of how long fresh caerulea seeds typically take to germinate? I haven't seen anything on mine yet.

Re: Passiflora
 

2-3 weeks

Re: Passiflora
 

Hopefully before I leave for college. :ha:

Re: Passiflora
 

Take them with you

Re: Passiflora
 

I guess I could take them into my dorm and grow them from there! :ha:

Re: Passiflora
 

Re: Passiflora
 

^Which variety is that? It looks just like the one I was going to ask about.

Can I get an ID on this variety i just bought from a nursery. Alata? Quadrangularis?




Thanks!
