The person that said that it smells like turpentine? I have an issue with that description. It does NOT smell like turpentine. It smells WORSE than turpentine. LOL.

I don't want to post a negative rating for a beautiful plant such as this - really it is a beauty. Nice foilage, BEAUTIFUL and weird flowers, a good grower, delicate. But the scent does not make this an appropriate plant for most home gardens. Maybe against that one fence where the neighbour is being a butthead, but other than that I see very little draw for a home gardener. Not that that stops ME from planting it but I am not a reasonable person by any stretch of the imagination.

Seriously, kids, this is best as a collectors plant because most people would have a serious issue with the odour. I, myself, am a BIG fan of the Stapelia genus. I LOVE the plants and tolerate the odour. But this Passiflora? I put it on the side of the house out of sight - the smell is terrible and carries so it is hard to appreciate it as a cultivated plant in a home garden. BEAUTIFUL as it is...

The flowers have a distinctly unpleasant smell, similar to turpentine. The foliage is very attractive, with yellow egg mimicry dots similar to P. boenderi.
