Passiflora sanguinolenta anomaly.
Strange site on top of the Orangery.
Something has gone wrong with this flower from P.sanguinolenta !
Could this be an instance of fasciation ?
All the other flowers appear ok so far.

My first P.pinnatistipula flower!
Grown from a PSI seed (EUR) and planted in the ground inside the greenhouse 3 years ago it has extended high into the apple tree to produce the first flower.

P.pinnatistipula - finally produced a flower after many aborted buds dating back to June 2025 P.pinnatistipula - finally produced a flower after many aborted buds dating back to June 2025. This is too high up in the apple tree to pollinate!
