Name That Plant!

Is this a Passiflora?

16 years ago

I bought passion flower seeds in the Fall, and several plants have emerged (planted in new potting soil, and kept them separate). Most of the new plants look like the passion flower pictures I see, but there is one that doesn't have the three-pronged leaves. Any help identifying this would be most appreciated! Mark

It's looking more like a Giant Grenadilla.

I can't tell but some passifloras like edulis can have unlobed leaves until they are over a foot long.

Thanks for your reply! I think it is a passion flower; just don't know which one!

Sure looks like some of my edulis plants. If it is an edulis, I couldn't really tell you which one at this stage. I suspect forma edulis or one of the named cultivars of edulis. Could be something entirely different, though.
