First Passionfruit Flowers
Ben on July 4th, 2008
After much tender loving care my passionfruit has grown from a small 3 inch pot sized stick back in February to a fairly large flowering vine by July is a fair effort. I was expecting a 12 month waiting period for the first fruit, bu t a couple of days ago I found the first flower buds.
With a little help I pollinated the first flower to ensure that I get at least one fruit, not that I don’t trust the bees around here, its just that there is a whole mango tree full of flowers to compete with. 
There’s a baby passionfruit in there…
Un-opened flower bud.
From this to this in 5 months…
