I wanted to show you how passionate I am about this board and it's members...

The first 2 shots are my newest acquisition.

I love them all, but that red one is outrageously stunning.

Tim, Is that red Lady Margaret? What ever it is it's beautiful.

Timgod · « **Reply #4 on:** April 19, 2007, 07:55:08 AM »

Joyce, I was going to buy a red one at a plant sale. I walked up and there were 4 left on the table. A woman was in front of me so I did not push by her so as not to be rude... I should have been rude. She took the last 4 herself. I ended up "settling" for Lady Margaret as Kay has rightly surmised. I love the flower color. The white makes the color pop even more.

They are all gorgeous . . . can't wait till mine start blooming again . . . .

Tim,
What is the next to the last one? I like the flower shape and color..

Timgod · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2007, 08:22:30 AM »

I actually don't know for sure. My wife bought it as a gift for me. It wasn't even labeled as a passion flower. I knew that it wasn't a mandevilla as the label said but I planted it next to a trellis to wait for the surprise a couple of months later.
It has large flowers about 3" to 4" across. Very flat flower shape and rather heavy when you think of most passion flowers as looking lacy and delicate. A major plus for me is that it seems to be an evergreen. It never lost leaves and has been green and lush throughout the winter.
If anyone knows what variety it is I would appreciate the info for my own knowledge. Sean??? Anyone???

As you can see in this picture, not only is it evergreen and lush, it has no shyness in it's blooming ability.

That one is P. Belotii.
I got some a few years back, and have done very well for me. It is the dominant passiflora around my patio, and actually forms the roof for me now.

Cheers,

Mike

Looks like p belotii to me . . . does it have a lemmony scent?

Mike I was typing that while you were typing I guess, then the phone rang before I hit the button. Didn't I send you that first belotii cutting? I can't remember what all was in that group I sent you . . . .

Thanks for the info guys and gals. That is the one you showed over your pergola in another post isn't it Mike?

Each and everyone is beautiful, but that Lady Margaret is simply exquisite.

Oh, that red one is exquisite. The P Belotii is really nice too. I lost the one passion vine I had planted here this winter. It was on a chain link fence, too cold for it. I'm going to put another one there though, it can't get that cold again right?

Timgod · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2007, 12:01:52 PM »

One would hope this winter was an anamoly. I lost 2 varieties myself. That is why I bought Lady Margaret.

ITA! That red one made my jaw drop.

Thanks Barb...but all I can take credit for is the photo. I just bought the plant about 3 weeks ago.

Correct Tim - It is one of the three covering the pergola - but the main one. By coincidence, Lady Margaret is one of the others. I planted four Lady Margarets - two just vanished, one struggled on for a year or so, before giving up the ghost, while the last one is still with me, blooming away, even after a week of sub zero temperatures.

Cheers,

Mike

I see your belotti is already bearing fruit in your pic.

My native passion flower finally outpaced the caterpillars and bloomed this year for the first time in 3 years.

Very nice Passifloras Tim. I like the red one too. I have Lady Margaret still in a pot and waiting to go into the new garden. Great photos!
