Are the cats litter mates?

I had four litter mates one time.


One of my favorite refrigerator magnets.

My goodness! The one on the right is our Lester. He even lays that way. He sure does get around. I didn't know he even had a passport.

Default Passiflora "Inspiration"

The vine is covered in these almost alien looking blooms.

Thank you Mark, they are one of the host plants for the Gulf Fritillary butterfly.

Every time I plant one of these the darn Fritillary butterfly caterpillars eat it to the ground.

The caterpillars are voracious, that’s for sure.

I've always wanted to grow the passion flower ( Passiflora) but the genus is so large I have no idea which species to look for. The "Inspiration" is gorgeous but I am looking for one which will grow well in my area of North Texas producing beautiful blooms with a pleasant odor and edible fruit.

I'm pretty sure passiflora caerulea produces fruits. I get some fruits with my inspiration but I help the plant out by applying pollen to the stigmas with a small brush.
