Thank you. A few of my bigger/better blooms. Off schedule ,because of Hurricane Irma. But still welcome!

Beautiful flowers! Thank you for sharing. Love brassalovas!

I LOVE my Digbyana. I have the Nodosa of course, still trying to get the one with the huge lip on it.

But havent gotten it yet. I have 'Little Stars'. i was told it was the huge lipped one. but it is just the regular size. I am hoping to get 2-3 more blooms this 'winter from my Digbyana. I have 3 plants, all different sizes, but all bloom, this time of year.

My nodosa has been in bloom non-stop for a little over a year. I want a digbyana but can't find one reasonably priced.

Lucky you to have a Nodosa in bloom all year! Yes Digbyanas..are very expensive, I had to buy very small seedlings and wait years, to finally get blooming plants. There is the B.'Glauca' that is very close to the Digbyana, in looks and the aroma is nearly the same to. It doesn't have the frilly lip, I have one of them to. It is more waxy looking, and less expensive.

I cant make it to the Ft.laud. Orchid Society Show this year. I can buy new/young, Digbyanas. I usually get a new one each year. but I think it is this weekend, so i missed it. I have no money to afford to go, let alone the ticket to get in. But it has either big specimens, that cost to much,or nice 2 yo seedlings, from Taiwan, for like $15, thats how I got the 3 I have. I got the 'Glauca' variety one year, it was in bloom,and I was told it was close to the Digbyana, so i got it.

Here is the 'Glauca'

Your pictures of your flowers are so beautiful! I moved to Pensacola about a year ago from Cave Creek,Az. I used to grow Passion Vine in KY where I grew up. The red one you have in the picture would it grow in Pensacola if I had it in a big pot and took it in for the winter? I don't know that variety of Passion vine but would like to try! I don't know how to email you but here is my email carolbieber10@yahoo.com Carol

Hi: You should get a notice in your email that I posted this here. It is called 'Lady Margaret', it is usually at Lowes/HomeDepot, in a 3 gallon and 1 gallon pot. I just saw it online at 'almosteden.com', an online plant nursery, for $12.99 plus shipping. And it lists other places to buy it. WalMart included. Don't know the sizes, you need to check that.

It grows very fast, the vine is thin and wiry. I would think you could pot it up into a BIG pot, like a 5 gallon bucket?, and put a trellis behind it, and it would grow like up it like a weed. It flowers all year for me.

IF Pensacola gets freezing temps, yes you would have to cut it back, and protect the roots, and try to keep some stems alive, till spring. But mine has lived for 5 years now, through temps. of the high 30's, low 40's. But only for like 5 days. Past that, I dont know how long it can handle low temps. Hope this helps.

I like potting up the more tender passifloras and then I place the pot against either a wire fence or a trellis. In the fall I cut them way back and stick the pots in the greenhouse. We get some freezes here. I have several different varieties and this works really well. Just make sure your potting soil is really well draining.

Beautiful!!!!
