    Orange fruit in October. Seems to be some sort of vine/creeper.

    [​IMG] I love to find little gems of sites, like that one. I wouldn't have the patience to do it myself, but I can appreciate the finished product. ;)

    I think I read somewhere that there are about 200 varieties of passionflower. Only 3 have edible fruits.

    The numbers are something like that, but I'm sure someone can correct me.

    Not sure and I emphasise NOT SURE, but I dont think any are poisonous, just that most are not palateable or are a bit furry etc.
