A creeper is growing in my garden that is not the usual passion fruit creeper but it has fruits that taste like the passion fruit. They are very tiny unlike the real passion fruit. The fruit turns yellow and that is the time one can eat it.
This is a creeper that is normally found in jungles and if they are seen in gardens they are treated like weeds. As kids we would eat those fruits but the creeper never got a pride of place in anyone's garden.
I have several plants in my garden that I maintain though many think they are weeds and this creeper is on such.
It has a powerful scent that is quite pleasant.
Have you any plants that others think they are weeds.

The spikes are just the outer jackets which can be removed. The fruit in fact is sweeter than passion fruits. The yellow skin is not eaten.

It symbolises the passion of Christ.
I was wondering this today.. does anyone know why passionfruit, is called passionfruit? I mean passion, the American Dictionary defines as 'barely controllable emotion', yet how does this relate to the fruit? or perhaps it was the name of the perso

In fact the Passion fruits are new type of fruits in recent years. I think they are imported. Here the Passion fruits are dark red and I haven't seen when they are yellow. At the beginning I didn't know how to eat this fruit and therefore I avoided it. My friends like to soak it with water.
Occasionally I tried a drink from a store and I liked it. I figured out it is mixed the Passion fruits with dragon fruits. I use my blender to mix them and I also add honey inside. Then this drink is fantasic

That flower you see is on this vine. I had a passion flower creeper a long time ago and it had flowers such as this but bigger in size and even the fruits were pretty large. Passion fruit is sour wile this fruit tiny as it is, tastes sweet.
This creeper is delicate unlike the passion fruit creeper.

I have some weeds growing in my lawn but if they have flowers how can they be called weeds.

That's pretty! I have trouble thinking that it is considered a weed? Esp if it gives fruit? -- I like something we have called "Creeping Charlie". I love it though. It grows low to the ground with big round leaves and tiny purple flowers. It pulls out easily, but is hard to get rid of because it keeps coming back.

Weeds can be difficult to get rid of. I have a few like that.
