aren’t passion flowers so lovely ! I planted this around June, and quite a few flowers bloomed. The weather hasn’t been great but I have 3 passion fruit growing. 😊❤️ not sure how kind winter will be to this plant. I’m very new to gardening.
Plants really make me smile and take some of the pain away 😊
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm glad you get so much pleasure from gardening.
😊 I’m looking forward to tasting the fruit ….
Sometimes it’s nice to have a break and just take in the beauty of the flowers ..give me body a chill out break. Even for a short time.
Good wishes
Lovely flower. My neighbour has one on the outside of her front porch. It faces south bui wouldn’t say it was in a particularly sheltered spot, it has survived several very hard winters. So hopefully yours will too.
Beautiful
Sorry….…doesn’t look like it…from gardening today🔽get yourself a mini greenhouse for next year…that may help?
“Passion fruit grown outdoors in England is unlikely to ripen enough to eat, except in Cornwall and Dorset. This is because passion fruit is a tropical or subtropical plant that needs the right conditions to produce fruit that ripens before the season ends.”
Ah, I don’t think my neighbours plant produces fruit because it is outside but it just hasn’t died. It has got quite large and is very pretty.
Lovely. 💜 My SIL has quite a lot of flowers and fruits each year (she makes preserves from them) but she is in Guernsey and a lot warmer summers usually.
That's a beauty - it may well die back in the winter but usually sprouts back again in the spring/summer. Enjoy your garden - great pain relief!!
my passion flower is blooming well, it has taken a few years to establish but is now stunning and has survived all weathers, gardening really helps me as well!
wait until you get a passion fruit
Beware! Mine tried to take over the whole of the garden on that side and smothered the shrubs in front as well as the rose bush which covers the wall. And for several years I was removing roots. After about four years I've replaced it with a clematis. But it is lovely and if you have the room it's ideal for covering a wall.
chilli plants are very rewarding with pretty flowers lots of fruits (chills) turning bright orange which I chop and freeze. We bring the pot in at night now and will protect it over winter and it should survive.
Beautiful!
Oh well done that's absolutely beautiful.
Hey again. That’s a beautiful flower. I love purple. I live in a flat. No garden. Not even a bloody balcony! But i have a couple of plants on my windowsill. My partner has his own place. He has a garden. (I love my own space!) He & his friend are growing the hottest chillis in the world. I’ve forgotten it’s name. He’s got 3 plants. About 10 chillis. But only 1 of them is really doing well. We didn’t really have enough sun this year. He’s a great cook & loves his spicy food. I’m a bit of a wussss! I like some spice. But not ‘rocket fuel spice’. We can all tell you enjoy having green fingers! X
Hi Vixen2
I think your partners chilli’s be too hot for me, spicy things gives me hiccups 😆 I do like spicy but I’m abit like you , I like mild spicy haha I’m another wuss. Hah
I love my garden first time I’ve had one for years and can’t believe I’m not bad at it …I have a go anyway
Have a lovely day !
I’ve just remembered my nanna & grandad. They had quite a long, narrow back garden. My grandad had a greenhouse. I used to always ask my nanna where he was. He would be in the greenhouse. I remembered wooshing down the garden to see him. He’d show me his tomatos. (Woops. Sounded rude!!) Sorry. I have a naughty sense of humour. Just the memory of me running down the long, narrow garden to see my grandad came to me! It’s so great you have a hobby that helps ease the pain. (That’s when i love to sing jazz. It helps me). X
I love a good flavourful curry, it needs to be tasty hot, not macho burn the throat off me hot. I used to have a fab curry recipe Green chilli chicken, I lost the recipe but have tried many times to make it again, had a few good results but not quite perfect. Good news , hubby found this in bottom of desk drawer, faded , not the original but nearly, a starting point for experimenting 😂
Hey. That’s great. Your original recipe. You’d better start rustling those pots & pans! My partner’s a really great cook. He’s made his own hot, hot chilli sauce. His mum had some once & said it was ‘obscene’. He knows with me, to put it on the side. Not to ‘splash it all over’. (Like Henry Cooper, the boxer!) Showing my bloody age there. 🙁. Enjoy your curry. X
Ha Ha don't worry I get the reference 😂, I so need to update some of my ref's, under 40's look blankly at me 😕🤭
I know. I’m 53. Sometimes i feel about 90. (Not just with my joint stuff & eye problems). I love some forms of technology. (My tablet is great). I love getting into bed with a cuppa. Getting under the duvet & putting a good comedy/drama on. But i still don’t like the auto check outs in supermarkets now. (We don’t get on). I prefer a human. I can’t stand the robot’s voice saying unidentified thing in the do da area. Her voice drives me mad! 🤪. I live in Covent Garden. So it’s ALWAYS BUSY. I like to talk to some of the staff. But they’re so busy. My partner lives in Twickenham. When i’m going mad with the bloody crowds. I go to his. He cooks for me. Which is great. As i LOVE TO EAT!!! X
A very old ref, Max Wall before both our times but I remember seeing clips of him on telly when little. He gets mentioned when people are walking round in obscenely skinny jeans I said once "christ Max Wall rides again" blank faces all round 🤣😂🤭
🙁🙁🙁😫😫😫 I know. Bloody ‘yoots’. (Even someone that’s in their 40’s is a bit of a yoot to me). I have a lovely chunky little Syrian hamster called Sidney. I squeaked at him. He squeaked alot back. He was saying hello. FEEEED ME. So i gave him a bit of lettuce. That’s what i love. If i’m feeling ‘low’ i just talk to Sid & he cheers me up. He doesnt care how old i am. Or if i’ve got a spot coming up. He just has to look at me sweetly & i just cheer up!
Beautiful flower. I have some too - a variety called Constance. That was my mother’s name and my daughter bought me the plant as a Mother’s Day gift two years ago. It’s grown a lot, is flowering today and more buds still to open.
Hope yours keeps flowering too.
My daughter bought mine for Mother’s Day too 😊 this one I’ve got is meant to be helpful for anxiety and soothing. I can’t remember its name
A lot of the good old-fashioned names are coming back aren't they? One of my granddaughters is called Constance.
Yes they are. I’ve a relative called Connie. My granddaughter is Cecily, which is fairly unusual too.
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful 😍
One of our favorites. They grow very well in our area, Florida, and host our state butterfly, the Gulf Fritillary. Beautiful flower, great juicing fruit.
I love it 😊 must admit I had never noticed passion flowers before
Such unusual flowers 😊
Lovely, in our first house I used this to prevent a really unpleasant neighbour peeking into our garden. We had a small 3 foot fence and not a lot of money, I bought dahlia stakes attached them to fence and attached green coated mesh fencing. We had a thick privacy screen within 2 years much prettier than neighbour. It fruited from second year bright orange orbs, looked lovely but not edible, think the birds liked them.
Physalis peruviana ( Cape Gooseberry) is a nice easy plant , looks pretty and tastes wonderful, so easy I had it self seed into the gravel at the base of the house wall, think it liked the heat from the wall and had lots of fruit , came back every year.
This is real interesting to me. I will make a note of those plants. Lots of visitors next door even tho neighbour is nice I prefer my privacy ..my garden is my little haven away from the trauma and pain….its kinda better than meds some days 😊❤️
They are , fascinating flower hanks for sharing. 💮🏵️
I totally agree! Seeing these flower in my garden always manages to make my heart sing! 😊
Lovely ! Jacojudy303
I hadn’t realised befor I was given a passionflower just how many there are of different type and color 😊❤️
Me too just a wander out there and a look at them makes me happy. I am thinking of growing a passion flower next week.
Apologies meant next year.
How beautiful! I love gardening too. What a wonderful job you have done. 🥀🌻🌺
Good luck with it . xx
