I WAS surprised when I read your feature on passion fruits on July 24. I have had passion flowers in my garden for many years, and have always had fruit on them.

I just considered it to be normal.

I never knew it was rare to get fruits on the plants.

I have several fruits growing as we speak, and have heard they are edible, but not had the bottle to try them.

I hope the guy in the story has many years of fruits, as I have.
