Annette: The fruiting variety I have is Passiflora edulis 'Frederick'. I just took these photos and here's the flower:

Here's the fruit on the vine:

And as you can see it just cranks out the fruit. It's self pollinating:

When it's ripe it turns purple and falls off the vine. Green ones are heavy and when they turn purple they are very light in weight. This one was knocked off the vine on the wall in the alley by the street sweeper last Tuesday. It was a greenish purple and it has turned darker purple since then. They are sweetest once they start to wrinkle up a bit.

I cut the one shown above open to show you the contents and I scooped out half of it. The seeds are very brittle. When I make a punch I toss the pulp into my blender to separate the seeds from the pulp. The seeds sink like a rock to the bottom and the liquid can then be easily poured off. This one was quite tart still but even so it had a good passion fruit taste.
