just showing flowes

Lovely! my passion vines have only put on a very few flowers this season. I guess since it has been so dry?
I know the last one is an af. violet. what is the middle one? very interesting! does it flower?

Nope this is all it does lol .yes it has been a hot and
very dry summer here too

Verry Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are your passion vines there year round,, or come back every spring??

Oh, nice!!! Love those flowers!

it's still very pretty! nice color!..and leaf shape.

I'm farther south, in zone 9, and mine die back in the winter, then come back.

Yup they come back every year.

coooooool, Crickets Climate is more like mine,, so Cricket is yours in sun or shade or afternoon sun or Morning sun after noon shade LOL

wow! that's a lot of questions!
No really, I have them in several spots. they are wild around here, so once I found out how to identify them, I let them come up where they please. this year the two flower beds they come up in were: dapled morning sun, shade mid day, then burning hot till the sun goes down. the other flower bed - shade till mid morning, dapled a couple of hours, 3-4 hours of scorching sun, then dapled till sun goes down.

clear as muddy water, right?

gotcha! Thanks,,,,,,,I have a starter,,,,,,,,, and it's starting to vine out Didn't know whether to plant it outside or have it inside,, I guess it pretty much grows where ever in Tx

you only have one starter? If it is a very strong vine and you don't think it's too late in the year....you could put it in the soil and water VERY good. they have very deep roots. if you think it could establish itself before the hard freezes come....(if there is one. ha ha) go ahead and stick it in the ground. And btw, they are not extreamly aggressive. if you do decide to stick in the ground, you might want to throw some hay or grass clippings around it when we do get a freeze. just for this first year, of course.

thanks Cricket we usually don't get a hard freeze welllll kinda hard freeze the end of jan and into Feb maybe I should wait until spring then??

if it were me, I'd stick it in the ground. vines like to go deep, so keeping it in a pot might stress it more than going through a freeze before it's ready. hard for me to say though. I can grow cuttings from a plant like there no tomorrow and in the past year I've learned to grow from seed. vines, bushes, trees, I've had no luck with propagating in a pot.
my opionion stick it in the ground, but maybe someone else can come along and give you some different advice. I'm NO pro.

I got a few starts I rooted up I put one in the ground and the rest in a pot,, the pot is growing awesome,, the one in the ground looks weak and lonely, I had been thinking of taking it out of the ground and putting it back in a pot!

since you have more than one. try them diff. ways???

I think Passion flowers are the most unusual looking flower, but pretty!! They look like a alien or something!! I really love that picture of yours, Cricket.
(And I'm still lovin' that avatar picture you got!!)
