Made is the USA

Passiflora malacophylla bloomed recently and is continuing to do so in solid numbers for a first growing season. I'm told that only a few people in the USA have this species, and that only one other is known to have had it bloom. It's a vigorous plant with charming small white flowers. If I can hybridize it, then I might have another winner on my hands.

P. edulis has a bud on it after waiting 3 years since I planted the farmers market seeds. P. racemosa has some nice fruits, P. x belotii has 1 fruit, P. caerulea 1 fruit, P. vitifolia 2 fruits, and P. morifolia ... 20 fruits? That species self-pollinates without hesitation.

I'll have to wait for the fruits to fall so that I can plant these seeds, but I'm excited by some of the prospects from this summer.

Dysosmia Cross

I've seen a few Passiflora sublanceolata x Passiflora foetida crosses lately. They look pretty nice, and mine was just a few months behind when I first started seeing this Dysosmia cross.
