I finally found a good reference to the Passion Flower in a herb book
last night (I had no idea that's where I should look for it -- duh!) and
it said it actually grows a fruit. Have you ever tried it? The book
said it was rather tasty.

I've got some bad news for you. Red passionflower sets no fruit. The blue
does, but not the red.

Oh, no kidding! Why is that? Do you know? I don't mind, though, I just
fell in love with the red one. It was the first one I ever saw.

As to growing outside and deadheading, Mine grows on the back fence in
central Florida, and dcadheading would be close to a full-time job. I
prune it to keep it from growing 30 feet up the neighbor's tree.

Oh, cool. I was hoping that if I made it an inside plant this winter that
it would fill up my sunroom and climb up the walls but, like I said, I only
get strong west and some north light and I'm sure that's not enough for
massive growth.
