passion flower.... not sure what variety.... Don't you hate that when they show something and NOT identify it..... ESPECIALLY when its a garden center or nursery!

Thank you both. Did a little quick research once I knew what to look for and it looks like it's a contender for our garden at some point.

I grew up with these growing wild, we called them Passion flower but we also called them May-Pops. They have some beautiful crimson blooming vines at my nearby YMCA - STUNNING!

One of my faves and very hardy here in FL. But be careful as the Passion Flower vines can be somewhat invasive and hard to get rid of.

Growing up we called these May Pops. They grew wild in northern Alabama. As kids we loved to eat the sweet fruit they produced.

Fortunately, one of the local nurseries has them in stock for this weekend and will be on sale so I hope to get one.

This shows gobs of pics of a passion plant. I had one and the blooms were so pretty! But they grew up all over that area in the yard so I dug it out and got rid of it. They'd pop up and grow several inches tall in the yard before we mowed a week later. I was still digging the new plants up in the yard the 2nd season. You can make jelly out of them. http://photobucket.com/images/passion%20flower?page=1

Here in SW Nebraska, it's considered an annual. I just planted one as I love the flower so willing to pay the price knowing it's an annual!
