Can anyone please let me know the correct colour of Passiflora "Incense"
the images of it that I have seen seem to vary so much. I thought they
might give me the link of an image of the correct colour, perhaps a
"Google" image search has the right colour.

John Vanderplank describes it as having large, showy mauve and violet
flowers which are very fragrant and produced in May if grown under glass or
late June or July when grown outdoors. He describes it as a "delightful
plant which is well worth growing outdoors or in the conservatory".
The sepals are pale violet or mauve inside, green outside; the petals are
pale violet or mauve inside and outside. The Corona filaments are banded
white and deep violet towards base then mauve flecked with white, crinkled
towards apex.
