Liliko'i, Passiflora edulis is in bloom
Finally the wait is over. After watching this Passionflower(Passionfruit) grow larger and larger on the fence and clothesline in my backyard, and wondering all the while when it is going to bloom. Finally it has, and it was worth waiting for. Starting to take cuttings/trim it back, is probably what has triggered the large, showy 3" diameter blooms. Dark purple centers surrounded by white and a scent that enchants the area. My son describes the scent as "like sugar" and while I agree that it is a sweet smell, I fiind it closer to honeysuckle.
