No idea, ordered them on eBay years ago I thought they were all dead. I don't give up on anything tho and I gave them a nice hormone bath, so far 5/6 "dead" seeds are showing growth

It is a passion flower. Passiflora incarnata. I'm not sure what you mean by can I get growth out of the passion flowers , flower stock. It's producing a fruit? It can be cloned via stem and root cuttings, which I intend to do. The seeds should also be viable.

The drosera prolifera flower, yes, they don't self pollenate so thankfully they do reproduce via flower touch down, leaf pullings and root cuttings. I think genetically different pollen of drosera prolifera would produce viable seed but I only have the one. The second picture is the flower stock laid into a new pot with a drosera prolifera sprout on the tip of the flower stock.
I live in Ontario lol, no offence I don't just give out my address to everyone aha. Why do you ask tho?

Aha no problem , yeah, passion flower can grow pretty much anywhere. I have mine in pots and they come inside for the winter so they can keep growing and I can clone them. I've been starting to not only increase my collection but the number of each type of plant as well that way I can hopefully make a bit of the money Ive spent back ah Passion flower can survive like -15 weather tho, and if you cover the plant base with mulch the soil won't get that low even if the air gets down to -30 it will be an annual.

Nice set up. Yeah I am used to just picking it or getting it a local markets but here they are exceptionally expensive and I refuse to pay $1 to $3 for a single pod with a spoonful of fruit. I do love it though and I hope you make a killing selling them. Do you have pics showing how big the vines grow and fruit under your conditions ? Judging by the roots on your orchid it looks exceptionally happy.
Regards

Yeah man that's HUGE !!! I don't think I can grow that in my little apartment. I knew they get that big and more but I was hoping you were able to grow it "stunted" and still get flowers and fruit. 'll just take some juice then. LOL!!!
