Passiflora affinis
Sorry, I don't have any flowers to share yet, but I thought folks here might like to get a look at the foliage of passiflora affinis, a Texas native Decaloba type that's rarely found in cultivation. I bought it from Natives of Texas last spring (http://www.nativesoftexas.com/) and it had a difficult time adjusting to my heavy clay soil. But it's come back very strong this season and I'm looking forward to it flowering.


I could never tell last year, but this year it seems pretty apparent that there are two different plants coming up--on varigrated and the other not. The leaf structure is also different on both of these, with one more angular and elongated and the other more rounded, similar to p. lutea. This *isn't* lutea, because although they aren't well-developed right now, the mature leaves have prominent rows of nectary glands on the underside that really do look like butterfly eggs.
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
