Wow. These are all beautiful. I'd enjoy trading w/ you, though I'm a bit of a novice, and would probably be able to trade only cuttings. I have a small number of plants;
P incarnata and caerulia, P alato-caerulea, P. "Blue Bouquet, P. vitifolia, P xdecaisneana, P. subpeltata and P alata "Ruby Glow". I had "Incense" but one of our various hurricanes blew the tripod it was growing on, along with the roots and plant, to who knows where. Let me know if any of these are of interest to you. I would probably be able to do this later in the season, as I'm hesitant to cut of the flowering ends of the plants.

best wishes,
e

hwylo, send me an email. You have several I'd like--x decaisneana, for one, has been near the top of my "to get" list for a while.

I have young seedlings of P. cocinea and P. amethystina (Corumba de Grois), and would like to trade for a Constance Elliot.

Thanks!
Mark

I've never heard of p. incarnata 'Texas Giant', so I assume this is something you bred yourself, jblaschke? The spring form is beautiful, and at 4", it'd be as big as Incense!
I don't think I have any passionvines you'd want for trade - I've got Incense, p. incarnata, Lady Margaret, p. caerulea 'Waterloo Blue' and p. biflora. Maybe you'd be interested in p. biflora? I raise my passionvines for caterpillars, and now that I've got a big picket fence all the way around my front yard, I've got more room for vines.
Do you grow any vines other than passiflora? I've got some red crossvine, which is a bit unusual. I've got both the red and regular orange Mexican flame vine which makes a profusion of beautiful flowers all summer and fall long.
If you're interested in any of these, I'd sure like a rooted piece of your p. incarnata 'Texas Giant' - p. incarnata is the favorite of my gulf and variegated fritillaries.

Louisianamark, I'd like to get either of those--they're pure strain, not hybrids, right? I'll have to look to see if the Constance Eliott has any suckers I can dig up for you (it's not all that aggressive that way). If not, I'll have to start some cuttings for you.

Missherry, the "Texas Giant" was wild-collected by myself from property my family owns about an hour west of Houston. It's not a formally registered cultivar, but rather an informal name I've given it to differentiate amongst the other incarnata I have. Plus, it's descriptive. :-)

It *is* as large as Incense, which amazes me. It's actually the first passi I ever encountered--close to 20 years ago--and I had no idea what it was for the next 15+. Then my in-laws gave me an Incense and I suddenly realized "That's it!" In retrospect, I realized that I'd seen many of the fruit hanging on fences on our property, but back then thought they must've been some wild cucumber or something. Little did I know!

I'd be happy to trade for p. biflora. I find myself gravitating towards various decaloba types more often than not, probably because they're well-suited to be potted specimens and are comparatively rare as opposed to the larger, more showy passiflora types. I *might* even have some root cuttings potted up and ready to go. I'll have to check tonight when I get home.

Incarnata "Georgia"

This interests me because I raise caterpillars and definately need something that will last for the cats.

To trade: I have one that recently rooted but no one has been able to tell me what kind it is. Looks like a Lavendar Lady but the filiments aren't as dark.

Does this work?

Flutter, sure, I'm feeling adventurous! :-) The Georgia one should suit your needs. An Incense around the side of my house I used for relocating caterpillars in years past didn't come back this year, so I used my caerulea until the cats stripped it. So then I move them onto the aggressively-growing Georgia, and the cats have barely put a dent into it. It's getting bigger even as the number of caterpillars on it are increasing. It's actually a little intimidating, seeing how the cats have stripped other passis so easily!

Email me your address and I'll send your plant out on Monday. I've making a couple of trades that day and will include yours in the run to the post office.

Jayme,

Could you email me at louisianamark@yahoo.com -- I don't think I am getting emails through Garden Web. Both the coccinea and amethystina that I have are species, not hybrids. The amethystina-Corumba de Grois is a selection of the species, not a hybrid. I am also trying to sprout some other passiflora (loefgreni, cincinnata, kermisina, etc), and have seedlings of 9 different aristolochia if you're interested. I think I might like a cutting or some seeds of your Texas Giant also.

Thanks!
Mark

Jayme, I went out and made three cuttings off my p. biflora. I've never tried to root this one, so I have no idea whether they'll take or not. P. biflora is indeed smaller in flower and in overall size than the others, although it's considerably bigger than the puny little p. luteas that grow in my woods. Not to disparage p. lutea - the marbling in the leaves is beautiful, and you can use it to raise gulf and variegated frits. My p. biflora has never made a fruit, so I can't send you one of those - if the cuttings don't take, I can always order you a p. biflora or any other reasonably priced passionvine you want and have them send it to your address. Here's a picture I took of a p. biflora flower -
