    Are you sure these plants germinated from the seed displayed? as it seems you're growing passiflora from a malvaceae seed

    I agree: passion vines of some sort. There are hundreds of species.

    Thanks Daniel,
    I'm still not convinced that the seed is passifloacea. It looks like malvaceae.
    In fact you've got me motivated to step out into the chilly night air and pluck a firm ripe juicy passiflora edulis from my vine, dry the seed and post some piccys. This will take a few days to achieve. In the meanwhile, check out this site for some seedy viewing

    Cheers

    BUT LISTEN TO THIS
    i found the seed that i show you in a matchbox it's full of those seeds

    Cool,
    I'm glad we got the first bit sorted out.
    I am pretty sure the seed is from a mallow plant or plant family Malvacea.
    If the squares on the cloth are 10mm then It could be Lavatera, holly hock etc. I'm not sure, I suggest you take it to RHS gardens Wisley surrey, they'll be able to help and you will see a lovely part of the world and an awesome garden

    The size of the seed as you can see in the pic is no more then 10 mm
    or 1 cm . every square is 5 mm * 5 mm

    any way i dont know what is the family Malvacea as you wrote to me
    i just search the net and it seem to be a regular plant.... not rare
    so i think that this is very wierd that someone is trying to smuggle
    those seed to my country .... i tell you again i found it on a 1 matchbox
    this is still weird

    Ah, I thought the request was for growing information for the Passiflora, not the seeds.

    There are a thousand reasons why people might want to take seeds with them across borders, many of them not illicit (although the import of seeds across borders without going through the proper channels might be illegal).

    You werent the only one who thought that Daniel.
    It's morning here now and afetr a deep slumber my mind is fresh as a daisy.
    The seed could be lunaria or honesty.
    As Daniel said, people regularily carry seed to other countries, responsibly and irresponsibly. Sadly,Australias species diversity has fallen victim to this kind of behaviour. We have many south african plant thugs that rapidly dominate habitats.
