Yes I checked the links and pics and this is the type of passion flower
that is growing in my yard!
It sure is pretty for a free plant.
I look forward to trying out the fruit, possibly on my bunnies and pet
rats! If they seem to like it, maybe the pet birds I have and last but
not least, myself.
If it is slimey it might be just a good ingredient in some sort of
yogourt or something similar.
I have been spending my spare time weeding and getting dead seed heads
for trading next year. There is always something to do with the
gardening hobby.
