Passion Fruits


The leaves of passion fruits are very green and lively. There are two vines here. Two different species. I grew from seeds. They are starting to flower after a year.



A passion fruit flower bud.

The flowers bloom mid-day. After noon.  

The flowers are many, but only two fruits are formed. Probably there were no bees and the days have been quite still. No wind. Once when there were many flowers, it started to rain, didn't give any chance for the pollen to reach pistil, I think.

The flowers are beautiful.


 They drop the next day if no fruit is formed.

Lots of pollen on the stamen.

 I decided to do self pollination. 


Plenty of pollen.


Hello! Baby coming out from womb! :-)








How nice to see shiny skin passion fruit!
