Red banana passionfruit (Passiflora antioquiensis) first flowering for us

Red banana passionfruit (Passiflora antioquiensis) first flowering for us.
Another view. ‘Keith’ (that’s his name) the Abyssinian banana behind the tree at the back.



Actually the 3rd and 4th flowers this year, as I missed photographing the other two. Hopefully the fruit will be ripe next season 🙂

The other name for this passionfruit is ‘red vanilla passionfruit’, but it’s a bit of a misnomer. Fruit don’t taste like vanilla, and the flowers don’t really have that scent either even if you squint your nose. There is a ‘true’ vanilla-scented passionfruit (also edible, though smaller fruit) though – Passiflora capsularis, which we hope to grow soon (we have a few sprouts)
