Passion Flower, which one I don't know, although I think it is more ornamental than fruit bearing
Lisa Gi on 8/29/2008 2:23:42 PM
it will get passion fruit on it too......The fruit produced by this plant is an oval berry, a little larger than a chicken egg. Passion fruit is edible, but seedy. It can be used to make jelly, but its best usage may come from being a food source for several species of butterfly and their larvae.

Both the scientific name (Passiflora incarnata) and the common name of the passion-flower come from its supposed resemblance to aspects of Christ's crucifixion: five petals and five sepals (the ten disciples, minus Judas & Peter); outer fringe (the crown of thorns); five stamens (number of wounds Christ received); knob-like stigmas of the pistil (the nails).

in England we can only grow this as an indoor or conservatory plant. Very nice indeed. But the flower doesnt last very long, but plenty of them. Julie

I think it is what we call a May

I think it is what we call a Maypop in the SE United States. It is a wild Passion vine that grows uncultivated all in my back wild flower garden. I think it's proper name is Incarnata.
