Passiflora holosericea, seen here growing at Kew Gardens. This is plant that likes it really hot and even does well in India. It is a difficult plant if it is being grown in conditions far from its norm. Likes to be kept dry winter & summer as it grows in arid areas. Some varieties develop corky bark when older & will produce up to 8 flowers on one peduncle. Beautiful almost luminous velvety leaves.
