Passion fruit has been a weekly harvest here since we came back. The plants seems to be fruiting all year round here. The plants grow very tall here and some of the fruits are too up high to pick. I have been fascinated on how the fruit forms by stages from the pretty passion fruit plant.

The middle one is unsuccessful?
Passion fruits looks ornamental like decoration light bulbs around the pergola.
Passion fruits from the garden to share.
Anyone can guess what fruit is in the orange basket?

Hi Diana; Some fab photos there - the Passion-fruit flowers are so pretty and photogenic. Is the fruit in the orange basket the Cashew nut?
Aren't passion flowers bizarre? I read somewhere once that their name comes from the cross in the center of the flower. ("Passion" meaning Jesus carrying the cross.)
our passionfruit also grows very high but drops to the ground when ready to eat. I love the scent of the flowers, and you have me stumped with the fruit in the basket - no idea.
I like the plant itself. It's very cool looking and a bonus for the fruit. Not sure what else you have there though.

The passion fruit flower is so beautiful and unusual. No idea what is in the basket.
happy new year to you! i noticed that previously it's not that easy to get passionfruits here but since last year, the fruits can be seen quite regularly at fruits stalls and supermarkets here..i wonder why. are those figs in the basket?
so beautiful..

seronoknya dpt tanam passion fruits tu... dulu2 masa kakak masih sekolah rendah & tinggal di Terengganu memang byk yg tanam pokok tu.. now dah susah nak jumpa. buah di bakul sebelah tu ialah buah namnam kan? heee...
buah passion fruit tu masa kecik2 (sy pon asal trg sama kak madiha) slalu jmpa buah ni kat semak. Kami panggi buah oren susu. Dulu kan heboh cite hantu yg ketuk pintu rumah mintak susu, kami ingt hantu tu ambik buah ni bg anak dia minum sbb org xnak buka pintu hahaha.
Kat tepi tu kat rumah mak saya ada satu pokok tu, kami panggil buah katak puru. Masaaaaaam tp best :-)
salam perkenalan. yg satu lg saya pggl buah katak puru...
We have a passion flower in our garden but the leaves are a different shape - ours are fingered. It even has some buds now in the depth of winter.
I always harvest my passionfruit by picking the fruits up off the ground which means it doesn't matter how high up they grow as long as they fall to the gorund when ripe. Great flowers.
Great captures. The flower is unique and wud be great for macro-photography.
I so love passion fruit. Yum. And the flowers are so pretty.
Those are beautiful flowers and the bonus of fruit is amazing. Absolutely no idea what is in the orange basket. You have so many items that are not to be found in my growing region that I always find it interesting to read and learn about them from your blog.
I am on the early stage, cannot wait to harvest any, but do not know when.
Happy New Year!
The flowers of the passion fruit is very pretty! My sis has a plant in her garden and it is fruiting profusely!
Is the fruits in the orange basket, buah asam?
The flowers are beautiful and the fruit a bonus for sure...
