June 5, 2004 11:45 AM | I have this passion flower at home and i've had it for over a year now! Last summer it bloomed beautiful flowers that smelt like lemons somewhat but I brought it indoors for the winter and I lost one of the vines on it! I don't know what happened to it but the other vine that is left is growing great and at a fast rate. I want to ask about the seeds that i find in the soil! Are these seeds that I can replant? Once I get flowers this summer, I will send you a picture of my flowers when one grows. It seems to have a new stem growing on the bottom of my one vine. |

If this vine is pinched back or broken or cut off, it will send off shoots elsewhere. I love passionflowers and have many different types. |
