Yes, likely the one! Florida would be an ideal climate for passion fruit. Flowers are very exotic looking and pretty. Dead easy to grow too. Bit of fertilizer a couple times a year….and some sort of trellis to spread out on – and they are happy…never had any disease problems or serious pests…..and the reward can be many dozens, even hundreds, of tasty fruit.

I am curious if passion fruit vine is the same as the passion flower vine that my parents grow in Florida and attracts all those lovely butterflies:)

Hello everyone! I have grown vegetables all my life and never knew that loofah grew on a vine. I always thought it was a sponge that was cultivated from the ocean – like some of those household sponges you buy at Wal Mart. Any way, very interesting topic Kenny, and glad you got the chance to spend some time in the tropics away from the snow.
