Isla Vista passiflora running rampant
One morning I was out for a walk and spied many unripe fruit that looked like passionfruit hanging amid a profusion of vines. I walked closer, and lo and behold, I discovered it really was a passiflora vine.
Massive passiflora in I.V.
The house/lot where the passiflora vine (vines?) is growing doesn't appear to be currently lived in. It looks like some remodeling is being done on the outside.

I took these pictures because I think the passiflora is passiflora edulis, the same as L's vine. But L's only has one measly fruit, whereas the vine in these pictures has so many.

I think L ought to help her passionfruit vine along with the pollination.

Even though L's vine is in a container, it has been producing many flowers, so I think L's vine has a chance at better fruit production.

I'd like to take one of these fruits once they mature and save the seeds to start a plant of my own.
