At the same time we have all these blooms, the buds are falling off like crazy. This is one tempestous plant! This is the biggest elephant ear we've ever had. This ear is 40 inches now, and was 34 inches last weekend! The Passion Vine has grown like crazy and has 2-8 blooms every day. Those passion flowers are awesome. They attract hummingbirds and especially monarch butterfies, but they really climb and take over everything. That's a lot of work to control them.
