    The flowers are beautiful on this passionvine, however the butterflies won't lay eggs on this one. They don't like it. It is also invasive in my garden in Central Florida. In our rainy season it will grow a foot a day, I'm sure. We were gone for three weeks on a trip and it took over our 40-foot Florida screen room. I have been trying to eradicate it for years, but to this day I find it popping up somewhere. I gave some to a few garden friends and it hasn't been as invasive in their gardens. I have very sandy soil, but I believe it is more our climate because it has covered my friend's wooden fence in one season.
