Carpenter bees are at least as important pollinators of Passiflora incarnata as bumblebees, and some hobbyists who grow the native fruit place a moist old log near maypop vines to induce carpenter bees to nest nearby. The larva of the spectacular gulf fritillary butterfly feed exclusively on various species of passionflower such as Passiflora incarnata. Nenamldu 02:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

"Mayapple" or "May Apple" is NOT (as far as I know) a common name for passiflora incarnata, but is the common name for podophyllum peltatum. It may be regional vernacular somewhere so I won't delete it, but it'd be nice to have a reference citing that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.198.138 (talk) 03:13, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
