Passiflora 'exoniensis' bloomed today after a false start yesterday. This is the same plant that escaped Pergolatory through the bamboo last season. It's definitely blooming earlier than last year though, and I've spotted a few other tiny buds. They take quite awhile to mature into fully fledged flowers, but it's completely worth the wait.
After taking a few dozen pictures of this bright magenta gem, I dabbed some P. trisecta pollen on it that I harvested a day prior. In addition I have a bunch of P. 'Coral Sea' x P. loefgrenii in the front yard and perhaps some P. trisecta x P. loefgrenii in the back. We're off to a great start and it's only April!
