Two photos of the Harlow Carr Passionflower for sale. I guess photographing it was not quite as good as buying it. I have the image now of it though. It is on my wish list now too. The First passionflower I saw was on an Alameda garden blog.
I just checked out the Web address and it was a memorial post for Claires Aunt Helen, who gave her the love of Passionflowers, Cannas,poor mans orchids and cherry tree's..

Have you seen the Passiflora selection on this website? The selection is amazing... One could become addicted.
Kartuz Greenhouses- Passiflora
In my area, some passionflowers are too tender and some will eat your house. Just depends on the species or cultivar.
Thanks For the Website tip Angela.It has an enormous variety on sale (most have sold out though when I looked).My fav's were the Passiflora Caerulia, Jeanette, and Star of Bristol.Gotta get me one of these passion flowers soon!It seems some ven have edible fruits on after the flowers have gone :)
I can see addiction to passionflowers could be easy to come into.
Thanks so much for this post and for your kind comment to my post! My aunt would have been thrilled to think that her name was being mentioned in a gardening discussion that's criss-crossing halfway around the world. This passionflower is really special. The pure white petals really make it stand out.
you are Welcome Claire.Its funny you started me looking at passionflower with your post before, my sister grew one, I photographed one then remembered you, and found my way back to your blog.The lady who started you off loving passion flowers was your Aunt.I am glad the Discussion criss crosses across the world and that she would be thrilled at it!
All the passionflowers I have seen have been gorgeous.I want one or two now :)
