How pretty. It's shaped like pictures of yellow passionfruit pictures I've seen, but I didn't know they came in orange.

RJoe - those look like the passion fruit that we get in the Philippines! I would say so myself.

It looks very young. From my experience, we eat the wrinkled fruit, which is basically what you have, let to grow a bit more, then left on a windowsill or something similar to shrivel up a bit.

Having said that, when we moved into our current house, we found one of the bushes is a passionfruit bush. We're not sure if they're edible, but the fruit looked very similar to what you have, very smooth and bright coloured as I remember it.

It is a passionfruit though.

In suriname we only have the yelllow one and it's true when the fruit is wrinkly it taste best. In houston i have seen even red ones....it tasted similar though.
