South Coast Botanic Garden: Part 2 - Green House and Beyond

Besides some dubious name plates on the decaloba subgenus of Passiflora specimens, the green house was fun. The vines were climbing all over the trusses, and the carnivorous plants were hanging everywhere. The Passiflora were so vigorous about getting to the light that they had actually penetrated the air conditioner and were thriving on the other side.





Beyond the greenhouse is where I found P. caerulea growing in and through its neighbors. Consequently, when the hedges and boughs were recently trimmed, P. caerulea was cut back pretty severely. Despite that, there were some low hanging literal fruit and all signs said that come next Spring there would be plenty of flowers to see.
