First of the year 🤣 #passion-flower #passiflora-caerulea #passion-flower-constance-elliot

Beautiful flower Kerry. So great it flowered for you. 🤍💜💚😊

They are so intricate aren't they 🤍💜💚

Wow!

@hkyfvr @gjones @pelly @novicegardenlover thank you so much 😄 they really are so tropical looking 🤩 was a happy moment to see a flower after losing my purple & blue ones last winter ☹️

Very welcome. Sorry you lost your purple and blue flowers. Glad you have this one 🤍💜🤍

@hkyfvr I was so upset. One trampled by builders and the other succumbed to the frost 😞 but still have this so can’t be too sad ☺️

Why don’t you get some more for spring? Or just enjoy this colour. Very pretty. 😊

@hkyfvr I’m very tempted, always tempted 🤣

I know the feeling 🤦♀️

Such a elegant looking flower, love it. Sorry to hear you lost two plants. What you could do if you really like a plant and your afraid you might lose it over the winter is to take a cutting that way you'll always have one in reserve

@alan1111 thank you Alan 😀 I should have protected them all but as they’d been ok the previous year I got complacent 😔 will be taking cuttings from this one though!!! 👍🏻

That is soooo gorgeous

@jendren thanks Nicola 😀 been cut right back twice this year and just comes back with a vengeance 🤍

@cyndi thank you Cyndi 😃 it’s set fruit once but doesn’t take long before it falls off 🤣

@cyndi if that’s not an excuse to buy more then I don’t know what is 😉😂🤣

@gjones they are amazing looking things 🤍

That’s beautiful....🤍

Oh, how nice! Love the pure white and it appears to want to be like a coneflower!

Fabulous 🤍 Is this one staying out for winter?

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😀 hope you’re well ☺️

@gjones thanks Katy 😃 been cut right back twice this summer and just keeps going 😅

@jmlincoln thank you Jackie 😄 it’s lovely how the petals fold back like a coneflower 🤍

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😁 this will be left out for it’s second winter. Just hope it’s not a harsh one 😜

Yes thanks Kerry are you...🙂

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom glad to hear it ☺️ can’t complain, thanks 😛

You & me both 🤞

Wow, love this variety, very different from the blue but still mesmerising 🤍💜💚

Beautiful

So elegant a flower

wow😍

So beautiful Kerry!💘😍

Stunning!

That's just perfect Kerry 👍

Lovely....they’re amazing flowers....

Amazing! 😍

@solly1961 it is very different to the blue, a bit more sophisticated maybe 😜

@cyndi thanks Cyndi 😀

Welcome back 😍 #passion-flower #passiflora-caerulea #passion-flower-constance-elliot

I killed mine 😭 It didn't survive hard pruning and yesterday I pulled the main stem and it came out with all the rootball 😅😅

Wow, flowers buds already Kerry 👍🏼😀

That is early 👍 None on mine outside. Just happy it got through another winter.

@ublaszko oh no 😣 I know you said you thought it was gone but was giving it a chance. Looks like it gave up on itself! 😖

@sieveheadsarah I was surprised to see them. A few more on there too but all concentrated on one vine 😂

@jeatacake great that it’s survived the winter! They’re always a risk leaving outdoors aren’t they 😜

Perhaps I cut it too far back where the stem was too woody but I remember it was green so it should have been alive. And the winter was pretty mild so it's not the frost. I don't mind that I've lost it because it's only £3 in Wilko but obviously now is not the time to go and replace it. I will use my many annual climbers to fill the gap and get a new passionflower next spring. ☺

@ublaszko I swear they just decide if they wanna grow or not, regardless of what we do to them 😂 and you do have plenty of seed-grown climbers to take its place 😁

I need to go and take a close look at mine, it’s growing really well so that’s a good thing Kerry.

It has done really well up until now but I must have upset it 😂

@sieveheadsarah let’s hope it grows like last year! It looked amazing, and the size you got it to 😯

Still putting on new growth after being hacked back 😜 #passion-flower #passiflora-caerulea #passion-flower-constance-elliot

Just checked on mine & it's looking fine despite a good few frosts here. Not sure about new growth though. I'll just settle for it surviving the winter 👍

@jeatacake I’m glad yours is doing ok 😁 promising sign they’ve made it through some bad frosts already! Here’s hoping there’s not too much worse they have to endure 😜

Hope so too 🤞 but still early days yet.

Winner winner chicken dinner then!🤦💘😍

Absolutely beautiful Kerry 😍

Wow!💘😍

@gardengirlla thank you Maggie 😀

@jeatacake thanks Jeff 😁 they’ve all come into bud again just as I wanted to tidy prune 🤣

They must have seen you heading their way with secutures in hand! 😲

@gjones they’re amazing things aren’t they 💚

@ShelleySnyder thank you Shelley 😛

@jeatacake 🤣 saved themselves from a scalping 🤣

Very welcome!💘😍

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!

It should be called a propeller plant 😂😂

@alan1111 they’re fabulous aren’t they 🤩

Quite an elaborate dress

Simply stunning!💘😍

Wow 😮 I don’t have this one cracking. @kez001uk

Beautiful!

Beauty! I could look at passifloras all day, they’re awesome.

Another beauty. Not sure I've seen an all white one before 😍

@ShelleySnyder thanks Shelley 😀

@gjones thanks Katy 😃

@wtwitchell6969 thanks Wayne 😄 it’s gorgeous with the violet one you have

@richard.spicer.7906 thank you Rich 😁

@gardendan84 thanks Dan ☺️ there fascinating things aren’t they. So much detail in one little flower 😍

My pleasure Kerry!💘😍

@jeatacake it’s beautiful isn’t it 🥰 think it’s another more tender one though 😜

Are these flower buds?

They are 👏🏼😍

Not long now Kerry 👍🏼😀

🎉🎉🎉

Exciting!!💘😍

Mine has never produced any buds! 🤷

@daisyrozanne yay! Can’t wait 😁

@sieveheadsarah I’m so excited 😅 only one has flower buds on but never managed to keep one alive long enough for even buds to form 🤣 how’s yours doing?

@ublaszko can I keep it going to see actual flowers though? 🤔🤣

@ShelleySnyder it’s the little things 😉😁

@MarcoCee I read they can take years to produce flowers. These were more mature plants so perhaps that’s why. Saying that, only one of 3 has buds 😂

I'm sure you can 😊 It looks a bit light green but that could just be the new growth or it could be aphids 😕 My one is a wild mess atm! It outgrew the homemade bamboo trellis so I need to get some nails in and tie a twine 👍👍

They've all overwintered well 👍

I've had two of these, the first one decided to die, the second one I got last year was about that size and grew loads and has survived winter 😀

@cyndi I have a trellis, just hoping they’ll cover it 😛 and that they flower as well as yours 🤞🏻

@jeatacake I have to admit these are new 🙈 the last one didn’t make it in the heat last year so never even saw it flower ☹️

@sieveheadsarah I lost one last year too 😂 the flowers are too pretty not to try again aren’t they 😛 hope we both have more success, second time lucky 😉

@cyndi I’m glad to hear that 😛 expect lots of photos when they flower 😉😂

@cyndi I’m sorry to hear that 🙁 I hope you feel better soon ☺️ that’s great to know! I’m growing 5 butterflies so that’ll be the perfect plant to release them on 😁🦋

@cyndi you’ve been doing so much hard work in your garden, shame it makes your fibromyalgia act up ☹️ try take it a little easier! I’ll make sure I do, think they’re painted ladies so I’ll research the best plants for them. Thank you Cyndi and best wishes to you too ☺️😘

@cyndi thank you for the link 😁 it’s hard doing it on your own but would be so much worse if you pushed so hard you couldn’t be in the garden at all for a while 🙈 gotta take care of you so you can take care of everything else ☺️

@cyndi I’m glad to hear it 😁

That's the exact reason I decided to get a second one and try again, I just love the flower on this one, I'll take a pic later and tag you so you can see how much it grew last year 👍🏼😀

Sorry to hear that. I have lost at least one over winter & that was in the greenhouse too! 😑
🤍 #passion-flower #passiflora-caerulea #passion-flower-constance-elliot
Oooh...gorgeous 🤍
Super!
Wow that’s lovely 😊
Very unusual 🤍👌🏼
Awesome flower 🤍
@novicegardenlover @brightcolours @vegandmore @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @hkyfvr thanks ladies 😃 they are the most exotic looking flowers. Floral jellyfish 😅
Very welcome. Great description of it. 😁
🤍🤍🤍
@jeatacake the first and only flower but was a new plant as I lost the original over winter. Had to get rid of another 50+ pots this week with bulbs and tubers that didn’t do anything. Must be over 300 pots I’ve lost since last winter 🤯
Wow, that's incredible 😢 I know I won't have much, if anything overwintering in the greenhouse later this year, after almost everything died in there last winter, even tender plants I'd had for many years 😔
