Happy New Passiflora Year

This year is looking if it will be a good one. With the mild winter we have had, some of our passiflora has already started to grow and shoot. Most of the species and hybrids we have have survived so far. A new hybrid P. conzattiana x P. "Becky Speed" has come up from seed and looks healthy, it should have a good flower, hopefully similar to P. "Palomas Delight". The status of P. "Becky Speed" though is not good, with less than 5 healthy plants or cuttings.

Will add a few more pictures to this blog, as things start to flower. A Visit to Kew will happen in February too.
