RE: passion flower

Sorry Chris but probably you have overwatered it. Take cuttings now before the plant is lost just in case. Passies like a very well drained soil - water when the leaves just start to go limp. There is a very informative website on www.passionflow.co.uk (Myles is a lovely in person too.) You can see some of my passiflora (only watered daily when the temp. is about 35ºC) on http://photobucket.com/albums/v409/cincinnata/ You don't say which sort of passionflower you have - it its a Caerulea o Constance Elliot it may well regrow from the rootstock.
