Hey! Nice!
You know I've noticed most passifloras do best if I ignore them. Often to the point of "Oh-o I'd better water that & hope it's not already dead.."

Have you tried crossing this one with citrina or sanguinolenta? I've noticed that while I can cross those two both ways neither will work with any of my other decalobas. Don't know why. Murucuja may also work but not having one...

My citrina will pollinate my sanguinolenta, but the reverse cross has yet to take for me. I'm puzzled by this, since it's supposed to be an easy cross. Go figure!

Yes, I've tried the Fledermouse cross with both of those, both ways, but nothing's taken yet. Fledermouse is currently in between flowering bursts, so I'll have to wait another couple of weeks to try again. Like you, I've also though about murucuja being a potential candidate. I've wanted it for a while, but haven't managed to acquire one...

That's a pretty color. I'm partial to the pinks. Does it have a scent? Benign neglect is best for most plants. I can't count the number of orchids I coddled to death when I first started growing them. lol Good luck with the pollination attempts.

'benign neglect.' I love it! delightfully succinct.

Very nice Jayme! And as for crossing with citrina or sanguinolenta, I wouldn't put much work into it as they are different subgroups. I think you'd have better luck with the murucuja, which is also a different subgroup but closer related I think.

Pretty flower - I like the color!

I've poked around online and not seen any whisper of successful crosses with Fledermouse. But will keep trying when I have the opportunity. :-)

It is worth trying to backcross it with either parent or with Passiflora 'Flying V' (produces pollen and sets fruit) by Mark Cooper and myself as P. perfoliata is one of its parents too. It is available in USA now from Grassy Knoll. Flying V is across between a red hummingbird pollinated parent, P. perfoliata & P. penduliflora which is white and may be bat pollinated.

As Ethane says it will not cross with citrina etc as they are Decaloba/Xerogona and will cross between themselves only as far as is known. Murucuja worth ago though.

Here is a link that might be useful: Passiflora 'Flying V'

Yes, your Flying V is one I've had my eye on for a while. I've been so busy of late that I haven't had a chance to go through and break down the Decaloba groups to see what might be most compatible. Going purely on visuals (not a good tact, I know) I thought sanguinolenta might have a shot, since morphologically the leaves and flowers aren't that dissimilar. Sanguinolenta and Fledermouse both also grow at an insane rate--blink and they've taken over the entire window sill!
