Hey Katra,
Very pretty!

Thanks! :-)

I had a huge Passion vine at our old house in Austin..Covered
half a wall of the house..Only thing the Monarch butterfly's lay their eggs
on them and their babies just about eat it to death..Guess passion vine is
one of their favorite things..

Yeah, read about that but I understand the vine survives and re-leafs?
It'd be cool to get more monarchs here! I plant parsley and fennel in
the herb garden for the baby tiger swallowtails! Cute little buggers...

How did yours do when raided by the monarchs?

I think ours was the standard non edible one
though as it never fruited..But the blossoms were very deep purple..And the
smell..WOW! Darn thing came up everywhere like a trumpet vine..

I WISH my two little trumpet vines were doing this well!!! I've been
trying for 4 years to get trumpet vine growing on my fence! sigh Guess
my soil conditions are not right.

Even had a
sprout come up in our sunroom between the slab expansion joints. Was very
wierd..Did fine year after year till the guys who repaired our foundation
just HAD to put a pier right where it was..That indeed did kill it :-(

Darn. :-(

Well, if I get any fruit, I'll probably harvest the seeds at least and
might be able to offer a seed exchange next year!
