I find your climate and culture so interesting. Unique wildlife and fascinating plants. Of course at this time of year (winter) I am jealous of your summer too. I envy the thought of mango chutney as well. Preserving a taste of summer...
The passion fruit vine can be invasive here if not controlled and it sounds as though it does the same for you. Did you have a photo of it's bloom also? With all those fruits, you must have had an amazing crop of blooms.
Thanks on the tabby comment ~ that was Bump. I have her twin sister, Chirp as well as five more from 18 1/2 to 2 years old. I guess this is refuge for abandoned felines and canines here. Take care.
