Wild Passionfruit

Known by several common names Passiflora subpeltata is a prolific weed in Queensland. Unfortunately this spring it has flourished in my Gold Coast hinterland garden, smothering shrubs and fences and anything it can climb on. It is readily identified by its remarkably promiscuous attractive flowers and leaf shape. However, it is a Category 2 environmental pest and toxic plant because it contains cyanic acid potentially causing vomiting and illness among stock and children.
