OK you passion flower gurus, I saw this passion flower plant at the store and at first
passed it up, thought about it a while, and had to go back and buy it. I have no
idea what it might be, but I'm pretty sure it is not what it is marked as. The tags are
confusing. The one in the pot says 'Passiflora Edulis'
and the sticker on the pot says 'Passiflora Purp. E. Playboy' which makes me think it may
be a hybrid, or a specific P. edulis cultivar.
I don't think it is a straight P. edulis since if you look at the leaves, they are quite different.
P. edulis has leaves that resemble a 3-fingered mitten, while these are rather heart shaped.
They are also larger than the P. edulis I've seen.
The flower buds are not shaped like P. edulis
And the stems have these flares or wings (like the 'Winged Bean') that I don't see on my P. edulis.
So, I was wondering if even without any blooms yet, someone could give me an idea what it was.
I know I went overboard with the photos, but I wanted to give a complete idea how it looked.
