Hi flower bud, just wanted to say that Passiflora seeds are best when vine-ripened and allowed to dry inside the fruit. They are sporadic to germinate and lose viability quickly, especially if the pulp is removed. Having said that, I have fresh Passie seeds if you are interested:) Sharon

Hello, I think it definitely looks like some sort of cultivar of Passiflora x violacea, which is a hybrid between Passiflora caerulea (Blue Crown Passion Vine) and Passiflora racemosa. But there are a lot of these types, and I am not very familiar with them. But I think it looks like 'Victoria'. Whatever it is, it looks very nice.

Hi Briefly 1. the colours are from anthocyanins and are quite normal though probably more purple than the picture suggests. See http://www.passionflow.co.uk/passiflora-passion-flower-pigments.htm and the racemosa link below for similar stipule colour. 2.Incarnata can be a bit messy and prone to virus problems or it could just be biting insects nibbling at the tips. Either way just leave it and hope. Incarnata will do best in full sun with very poor free-draining soil. 3. Racemosa can be very tempermental and some clones are very difficult to flower. It will like very high temperatures and full sun and very free draining sandy soil. It has waxy leaves which tells us that it lives with lower humidity than most Passiflora so keep it a bit dry.
