Great alternative to other non-native vines like wisteria or honeysuckle. Hoping to get some passionfruits as well this fall!

Edit: as a commenter pointed out that is in fact a carpenter bee not a bumblebee.

    Leaves and flowers and it will only my medicinal if it’s a native version of Passiflora incarnata. But to harvest:

    Harvest the long vines when they’re begining to flower and haven’t yet set much fruit. Let the vines sit in the shade for an hour to give the insects time to crawl off and inspect the vines for caterpillars. Hang to dry or prepare immediately as medicine
