Default help in identifying my passiflora passion flower


"chris" wrote in message
m...
I bought a passion flower a month or so back at a large garden

centre.
It was shoved at the back of the inddor tropical section without a
name tag. It was a busy day and I couldnt find a memner of staff to
name the plant. I got it for a great price, it was twice the size

and
ten times healthier than those outside next to the ivy and clematis.

I got it home, re-potted it into a 2 ltr pot and its on my living

room
bay window were it gets good strong light, well diffused though my
white vertical blinds.

Anyway...on to my problem.

Very soon after repotting it began to flower like mad, and still

does.
I would like to know which type it is but I dont have a digital

camera
before anyone asks.

The leaves are the normal 3 lobe affair, very large.
The flower is deep purple, petals are thin and open back on itself
rahter than form a nice circular disc. The flower lasts for just a
couple of days at best. I swear you can actually watch the flowers
open it's that fast.

Sorry I dont know what else to say..

Any help would be gratefull.
