Passionfruit (Passiflora Edulis)

Passiflora Edulis // Passionfruit

While living in Thailand passionfruit was one of my favorite fruits.After coming back to Turkey I realized that passiflora incarnata is grown as an ornamental plant in the gardens of many coastal towns.So I thought why not grow passionfruit? I found a seedling at a nursery and planted it by the house. It was growing slowly in its first year,but the year after it bore many delicious fruits!

I took photos of the growing fruits as well as its beautiful flower yesterday May 28.
