Passion Fruit

Description:

The fleshy fruit, also referred to as a maypop, is an oval yellowish berry about the size of a hen egg; it is green at first, but then becomes orange as it matures. As with other passifloras, it is the larval food of a number of butterfly species, including the zebra longwing and Gulf fritillary. In many cases its fruit is very popular with wildlife.

Habitat:

Growing wild throughout the wildlife habitat garden.

Notes:

There is a Gulf Fritillary caterpillar feeding on the vine below the fruit.
