Before the Story of Pergolatory

I was recently contacted by a new friend on the Facebook Passiflora page and a mutual friend of some other contacts. He had a wealth of information for me regarding the lineage of my plants. In particular it turns out that P. x exoniensis, P. parritae, my former P. 'Mission Dolores', and my recently acquired P. membranacea are all very likely clones of plants that he owned. It's a small (and friendly) passi world as it turns out.

In addition to this information he was kind enough to send along pictures of the plants that he owned!

Hybrid Hopes

With the pest situations under control, and my new passiflora all flourishing, I have a new goal. I hope to breed a new hybrid and give it a registered name! It seems that the number of hybrids on the scene and up for sale lately has grown exponentially. However, I've noticed, or at least perceived a lack of subgenus tacsonia hybrids. Having said that, I do have 'Mission Dolores' in Pergola-tory, but other than that I haven't seen too many others. I was also lucky enough to score a parritae and exoniensis this Spring, and they're both doing marvelously. In fact, I think the botanical zone that I live in is near perfect for them. So, getting back to my goal, I hope that I can create a new tacsonia hybrid, but I could use some advice! Have any of the seasoned veterans of passiflora horticulture tried the tacsonias? What would you recommend as parents? I'm anxious to hear from you!
