Passion Flower Fruit

I spotted this plant and the rather grotty looking lone fruit hanging over the top of a wall of a house in Emsworth, Hampshire. I thought at first it was Quince, but the shape and leaves seem wrong for that. After Googling some images I think it may be a Yellow Passion Fruit ??

Edit : ID confirmed as a Passion Flower fruit.Thanks to Alby & Rosa :-)

I have seen these in a near neighbour's garden Keith, and it looks like the fruit from the passionflower. I agree with the above advice...don't eat it! You haven't caught it at its best as a fruit but as a picture it's great! Well spotted, and I like the background bokeh.

It certainly is a passion plant, of which there are many varieties with many different fruits. Lots of different varieties grow here, many being edible, but I hesitate to advise on the toxicity or otherwise. That said, it does look like what we call a banana passion fruit here.

Yes it is, and it's all ready for Easter! I kind of like the grotty dots, actually, gives it character. Another great capture, Keith!

Ha, ha................the "grottiness" caught my eye too Diane. I like to look for unusual things to photograph! Glad you like it and thank you.

Oh..they grow in your area?
It looks like a yellow easter eg..but the smell of this fruit is immediately in my mind, now I know what it is:)

Apparently so...............this is the first and only one I've ever seen though. I like your comparison with an Easter Egg :-))
