Yes I am! Ok, thanks for the note that makes sense because I've seen bees that look like them making holes in decks haha. Ill edit my post.

Another !beebutts@lemmy.world material right here, you should post it there

Got a similar idea to you, growing up the side of my house! Yeah mine didnt really get going until June, I got them when they were already a year old so hopefully next year! I will say yours look a bit more leggy than mine so they might benefit from more sun, if possible.

I make my own passionflower tea from the leaves. I just hang dry the whole branch with leaves in a dark dry place. Cut the leaves when they are dry to the size suitable for one's strainer.

It does help with anxiety, at least for me. And there is plenty to be anxious of these days.

The flower itself? Or the leaves

Yeah the flowers are absolutely wild! They only bloom for a day or two, but there are a lot of them and they're stunningly pretty.

They do! Apparently pasiflora incarnata fruits aren't quite as good as the kind you'd get in a supermarket but hopefully they're still tasty. Haven't gotten any fruits yet though.

Yeah that sounds like a decent plan to me although im not an expert. From what I've seen and read they are very heat and drought tolerant- haven't watered them at all despite it being a blistering summer in NC and they've done great.

I have some coral honeysuckle planted in my yard, too! No flowers on it this year though, hopefully next year...
