The central cavity is filled with juice and sweet-acid pulp, enclosing oval, dark brown seeds. The largest species of Passion fruit in the world. Their pendulous flowers are very large and showy, as well as fragrant, which is very sweet and strong, and carries on the breeze. You can smell them from across the garden.
