I've decided to become a collector. I love passion flowers and I am hoping to collect a new variety each year. I found a great site called Passiflora Online. I will be using this site quite a bit. There is information on varieties, tips on care, and places to purchase vines and seeds. I just purchased two more varieties while writing this entry! OK, so more than one new variety this year, although my guess is that the plants I ordered today may not produce anything this year.
This first picture is of Passiflora Passion Red Lady Margaret and is the second addition to my collection. I purchased it about a week or so ago at Behnkes Nursery. I am trying to decide if I will re-pot it and keep it on the deck or put it in the ground like my other passion flower vine.
This is the first of my collection and I believe the variety is Passiflora Alatocaerulea. I grew this on a fence last year and it was spectacular. I dug it up in the fall and put it in a pot. I kept in a sunny window over the winter and now it is back in the garden in the same spot. No flowers yet, but lots of buds!
