Anna is that Incense? I'm not sure why, but mine didn't make it through the winter. None of my passis made it through winter. Sad

It would really take a much worse winter than that to knock out any of my passies....they're cold-hardy and well-entrenched. It looks like Incense to me also!

You have caterpillars on your passie, Sandi? A lot of people have been talking about how few Gulf Fritillaries there are this year! I had some in the spring, but they have been very scarce since. I've seen one cat on the passies lately...which has pupated!

Saw your post went out and 5 minutes ago snapped this one laying eggs on the arbor over my gate. We have passiflora vines covering the AC enclosure. This year the cats ate them back so far, I doubt we'll have any blooms (not to mention you can see the ACs). I have some other passies that grow well, but never bloom. I may have to move them to more sun. This Frit is pretty beat up. I guess my arbor passi won't have any blooms either...

Excited to see this open and going! I checked in and made sure Oklahoma would fit in better with Texas (gardening Dallas and gardening here have been little different just colder in winter and thus far drier in summer!) Cannot wait to see All Things Plants take off!

It has been a while and I was not really sure where Oklahoma fit in over here! Been over on the Oklahoma cubit all I can this summer and would love to see that small but active crew moving over here. Maybe reviving the OK/TX round up at the lake is in the works in time here also... who knows what the future holds but I know this group of gardeners and know we share a lot of the same interest and plants.

Well then maybe we need to get planning! Tennessee might have started their planning first but we can build a bigger better roundup! lol sorry Bubbles just being a little silly today.
