    This vine is in a large pot on my roof. It blooms but so far I've only gotten one fruit and I had to share that with the bugs. It's covered in blooms now and I'm hoping for more fruit this year.

Brought in this 3 year old plant for another winter indoors. This is Passiflora edulis, the tender passion fruit plant, that is frost tender and NOT native to Michigan. It is native to Hawaii and tropical - warm weather climates. I hope I can get it to flower and set fruit, if I'm lucky, in 2022.
