Must be those big spade-shaped leaves....but the tall, thin, nearly-naked flower stalks do it for me too. <br /><br />Have you tried our native Hydrangea, H. Arborescens? I have one here that is just gorgeous for me, covered with reasonably sized blooms, unlike some of the over-bred cultivars that flop over.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17917908779521383068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-2180600063698074522015-08-22T13:01:40.250-05:002015-08-22T13:01:40.250-05:00Love the passion flower!Love the passion flower!earlysnowdrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652578607804291382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-29444960573419753592015-08-21T06:27:51.385-05:002015-08-21T06:27:51.385-05:00Mark/Gaz: I'd be interested to hear what it do...Mark/Gaz: I'd be interested to hear what it does in a milder climate (summers cooler, winters warmer). Here it grows like crazy!<br /><br />Loree: I'm also curious. I suspect it will die back.<br /><br />Emily: I doubt it. It went under my sunken patio to emerge from the other side I believe.<br /><br />Gerhard and chavliness: You know how tropical passionfruit is stuffed with seeds that are surrounded by the juicy "pulp"? Maypop is the same but the fruits are 25-50% air -- the seeds are not filling the whole cavity (hence the reason these will "pop" if you step on them). Taste delicious though!<br /><br />Peter: is your cup plant getting enough sunlight?

I'm still trying to find the best spot for the maypop you sent me.
