This last summer, we vacationed in Texas Hill Country. The house we stayed in had hummingbirds zipping through the landscape everyday. They were so fun to watch! We have a few feeders that attract Doves, Blue Jays, Mockingbirds, and Cardinals. But, I’ve really been amping up my efforts to attract Hummingbirds. We put out a feeder, but I don’t think it’s enticing enough on it’s own. Also, you have to refill the sugar water every 2 days and that’s already proving to be something I can do without. I’ve been researching which plants will draw in the tiny little birds and passion fruit vine kept popping up.
So, we headed out to a favorite local fruit tree farm in search of a passion fruit vine. The kids love going, because there are endless pathways in which to get lost among the fruit trees. I love going to try some of the exotic fruits. I finally sampled a star fruit. It wasn’t as I had imagined it, but still good. After spending an hour meandering we finally found the purple passion fruit vines and bought 2 of them. I’ve never had passion fruit, except in juice. I hope it’s as good as all the reviews I’ve read. And I’m really hoping the Hummingbirds like it and come to visit often.
