    Ren,
    This appears to be the Passiflora, incarnata.. If it is, then it is the host plant for the Gulf Fritillary Butterfly which is a very good reason to
    grow this plant, unless you don't like 'flying flowers'..
    Learn about them here, www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Agraulis-vanillae ..
    Don't pick off or spray the ugly little caterpillars you may see consuming the leaves, they be the larva.
    Just a 'FYI, For Your Information' note.. You most likely already knew this..
    Hank

    Last year, mine actually made a couple of fruit, but they didn't mature before winter set in. I hope your's make it all the way to munchability. :stew2:
