I love the pearly like petals and all the sparkle of the blue spines.

I don't know if the fruit were edible. Furthermore they don't bear any.
I think the plants are not self-fertile or something like that. Flowers
would be enough. Nevertheless I have also P.edulis, which should produce
edible fruits. But the plants are still too small for flowering and I
think the climate here will be too cold for the fruit to ripen anyways,
if there were any. Thanks.

They're very nice and extremely popular here in Australia. I was surprised
to hear that, in some countries, the fruit isn't eaten. It's particularly
nice with ice-cream. :-)

The fruit is known here as 'Maracuja', but mostly as an ingredient of
multi-vitamin-juice and there's also a bottled juice drink mixed of
peach and maracuja and a flavour of ice-cream. Maybe the fruit is too
perishable for transport plus storage, so that we know it mainly already
processed.
