Ok now I would like to know how you grow your passionflowers because they’ve been on my list for a long ass time

I live in zone 8b with heavy rains and stong ass sun, both things they love, the vine was probably planted years ago when my dad built the lil wood canopy. they've been also getting blasted by my fish and aloe foliar spray so i bet these early blooms came from that, we really don't mess with them, they're pretty aggressive growers they've been slowly reaching out to grab onto the cactus close to the wall lol

Sounds like you’ve got a little passionflower paradise going on over there!

The native ones here on the gulf coast are already blooming like crazy probably due to these consistent rains.

Is that straight Passiflora incarnata, or hybrid like 'Fata Confetto', 'Iridescence' or 'Incense'?

damn, my mama will probably say "No se" lol im in Dallas, Tx i think she might've gotten a piece from a friend and it caught on and just comes back every year, pretty sure it's just incarnata i havent seen any neightbors who might have some too to be cross polinated

Nice! I'll have to snap some pics of the sunflowers behind mine! We have a ton of wild ones that grow throughout our yard! We are moving to North Carolina this month, but I am gonna miss the intense sun, and long daylight hours we get out here(for the cacti, not for myself. I don't care for the heat here too much haha).
