Well, due to overwhelming response, this offer is now closed. I am glad that folks responded. I hate to toss something so pretty out. While I didn't pay for them they gladly grow and bloom for me. I appreciate their effort and beauty. I will dig them as soon as they are done blooming. I may have over 50 here. If so I wil extend this to the posters on down the list as quantities allow. I need mailing addresses. I checked email and postings here. I had four people respond via email as I requested. They were: crazy4hydrangea lady_pennywort sandylovesflowers pansyface2006 I took my 5th official name from the first of those to post here with a reply. That was: keesha2006 If the digging results in more than 50 I will glady extend this to the remaining 3 folks to respond. Those are: echoes or tricia123 hedgwytch If you would all EMAIL me your mailing addresses with a note so that I know what your gardenweb name is I would appreciate it. My email is doggone@bresnan.net Again, I am glad to be able to share these little beauties and hopefully there will be enough for everyone...it just might happen. My count today was quick and did not count smaller fans. Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Rene

My cuttings have found homes. I just wanted to direct people to a fantastic set of directions I stumbled across for sending cuttings and plants in the mail. From Ian Webb's site. Here is a link that might be useful: Ian Webb's Posting Details

The seeds are long gone, this post is over two years old! I just wanted to see what the seedlings look like now. Rodrifc or anyone who grew out the seeds, care to respond? Otherwise please don't post asking for seeds that no longer exist.

I'm happy to say , I've never had problems with controling any mealy bugs I've found on plants, though their were very small populations that I quickly erradicated using the old alcohol on a cue tip trick to remove the bugs. and I've rarely had the type called (root mealy bugs), though I guess there are some species that prefer to infest plant roots. I hate to say it , but I'd think you'd see at least some weak new shoots comming back by now, and my "vitifolia" struggled for over a month before sending out a very weak new shoot, which promptly died, and signified the demise of the entire vine. That severe pruning as mentioned is not to every passiflora's liking and it can kill them at the wrong time of the year. If the lowest part of the stem near the soil line has turned brown it's most likely the roots have died as well, but you could pop it out of it's pot and inspect the roots for signs of life. If all the roots are brown and soft, they're dead, but if you see some white parts towards the ends of major roots there may still be life there, and perhaps could get some new growth from beneath the soil line.
