Hand Pollinating Passionfruit


My Passion Fruit (Passiflora edulis) vine's first bloom!  I'm not sure its necessary
but we went ahead and hand pollinated it per the instructions
in the video farther down below.


The flower was closed in the next day or so.



A week or so later we spotted the fruit!  Since I've had trouble with birds,
squirrels and insects attacking my figs and pomegranates I went a bit overboard
and protected it with a drawstring organza bag.
