Passionfruit

Do you think they will ripen in time to have them fresh on our Australia Day pavalova on Wednesday? Oooooo I hope so. The big girl and I are going to get dirty in the nicest way making lamingtons too.

Love the flowers! Natalie

We have grown passionflower in containers in the summer but they have never given fruit, it is too cold I believe... This is amazing to see the fruit here, I would love to see the inside and what you do with them! It truly is a magical flower!

Ooh I hope so too! I have these in my garden and I just couldn't believe it when I saw the flowers for the first time. Aren't they the strangest things!

Lovely flower... The vines and flowers grow here, too, but I've never seen a vine in California give fruit (I'll have to look into that one because I'm considering replacing the vines on our pergola... Please excuse my ignorance... what's a lamington?

Good luck to your big girl with her first day of school!

Done Woolhalla.
Gardenmama I think they would do much better in the ground rather than pots.. you can get frost tolerant varieties but not so sure about snow and ice tolerant... I will cut it open and take a picture just as soon as it is ripe - they taste delectable sweetly tart juicy little pips of heaven.
Anna I love their flowers they are so beautiful and you are right like nothing else I've ever seen.
thank you celia.
M. Bloom - Lamingtons are sponge cake squares coated in chocolate and rolled in coconut…the best ones are split and have jam and cream in the middle! they are an Aussie thing.
