This ‘Blue Crown’ hybrid Passion vine has surprised me again.
First surprise was that it survived the winter outside.
I actually noticed it growing during the warm patches.
Second surprise was that the blooms move the female parts up or down depending on some unknown reason. I am hoping GEORGE will eventually explain this.
Third, the vine has started producing lovely orange fruits for the first time ever.
My fourth surprise occurred when I opened a “pop” to discover…
RED SEEDS?
Who knew? (Probably you.)
All this from just one plant.
I know…I am easily entertained.

George Rogers said that Passion blooms were PROTANDROUS. They start out male and then turn female. Who knew?

How extraordinary! I have the white ‘Constance Elliot’ in the garden here and I’m relieved to see that she has managed to come through her second winter… 🙂

It’s a pretty, all-white passionflower – rather elegant looking. 🙂
