This Passiflora is always full of caterpillars, and butterflies coming to lay eggs. Mine seems to flower pretty much all year, but the flowers are small and mine are only open for the first few hours of the day.

The fruits look like dark purple grapes but are larger, and are quite tasty, but because it is listed as a Florida Category II invasive (meaning it shows potential to disrupt native environments) fruit set should be avoided. This species has already escaped cultivation in some areas, and care should be taken to keep it from spreading where it isn't wanted.
