| Found this vine sprawling horizontally across a bush in my front yard, anso vining up a window. It has fruit about 2 inches in diameter, the green ones pictured here are covered with a fuzzy nareial, which falls off when they turn red, as there are also red ones on the vine. Looks like a bird picked off the top of one of the red fruit, and either they are hollow, or were hollowed out by the bird. I live in San Antonio, TX, and have never seen this plant before. Does anyone have any idea what it is? |

| Passiflora foetida? The flowers should be distinctive if that is it. |

| I don't see any flowers on the vine. |

| After looking it up, it looks like it but the leaves are more pointed.I'll go take a closer look at it tomorrow. It was very strange because it appeared out of nowhere. thanks for the reply. |

| Leaves should have a distinctive smell. Flowers only last a day so keep an eye out for buds. |

Ditto; Passiflora foetida, they show up here in Austin
probably "planted" by the birds who eat the fruit. |
