I have seen it 4 or 5 times before.

I was thinking Columbine.

Thats not it though. Amazing beautiful flower.

I want to grow some of em , whatever they are.

Very spectacular flower.

It is not columbine. Columbine has long flower spikes. I can't describe Columbine's flower although it is beautiful.

Not columbine, i grow it, also grows here wild.
That looks like a Star Gentian, which is very pritty flower. Although the leaves make me think Lupin, its deff not a lupin lol.


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2513)   ranked 10 out of 1,673 in gardening  5 years ago

Nope not lupin. Where do you live that this flower grows wild? It can live in zone 6 or above however a different variety is usually found wild.

I knew that plant but could not think of the name to save my life. I knew it was a flowering vine with a quirky name. Finally my last brain cell fired up-
Purple Passion Flower! Got some growing near me. here's a link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2513)   ranked 10 out of 1,673 in gardening  5 years ago

Bravo. Well close enough. =)

It is Passiflora caerulea. The Blue Passionflower

Passiflora incarnata is the purple passionflower.
It looks crazy. It was my 1st Passiflora.

I really like 'Lady Margaret' It is similar to this passion flower but it is RED with a little white ring in the center.


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2513)   ranked 10 out of 1,673 in gardening  5 years ago

Let me warn you guys about this vine before you get it.

If you plant it directly in the ground without any it will grow every where. EVERYWHERE. LOL.

If you decide to grow it as with a lot of other Passiflora plant them in a larger pot. Then plant the pot directly in the ground to confine the runners. They will grow up instead of out & give you a denser looking vine.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Julia3269 (181)   ranked 1,659 out of 1,673 in gardening  5 years ago

Wheee! I'l take close enough! Sometimes it's hard to get closer with all the hybrids, varieties, cultivars, etc.

coolseeds, it does grow EVERYWHERE! That's one reason I did not choose it for my gardening/landscape endeavors. The one near me is at the fairground growing up a 10 ft high chain link fence...and over the fence...and up the building. haha

CS- Does it have a scent? Can I start it from seeds?


myLot reputation of 82/100. coolseeds (2513)   ranked 10 out of 1,673 in gardening  5 years ago

Yes it has a scent but not much. It also produces fruit with edible pulp. However it is full of seeds.

It is a great pollinator for your other Passiflora species to produce hybrids.

Yes it can be easily grown from seed.
