name that passiflora

18 years ago

i was just told this is some type of passiflora. i have no experience with the species, i just happened to have this growing in my backyard. could anyone name the specific type for me? also, is this the plant that produces passion fruit? that would be awesome!

Here is a link that might be useful: passiflora unknownensis

Looks like P. 'Incense', a hybrid between P. cincinnata and Maypop.

This one does produce fruit, but not easily, and the fruit is too small and often hollow anyways so it's not so great for eating.

Incense's parents are very closely related to P. edulis, which is the edible Passion Fruit.

Yeah, that's Incense. A wash-out as far as fruit are concerned, but some truly spectacular flowers.
