Passiflora edulis ...

...originating in subtropical South America and known by Spanish missionaries as Flor de las cinco lagas ( flower of the five wounds) because it illustrated the crucifixion of Christ, hence the name passion fruit.

Three vines planted a few years ago were enthusiastic sprouters of greenery but reluctant fruit setters. Not so this year...yeahhhh!
A bumper harvest of plump purple juicy fruit (extra) perfect for morning yoghurt and of course pavlova toppings.
