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

Thank you Sacha, I know basically what it looks like but not definitely,
the images I have seen vary so much in its colour and I would like to
know for sure what its colour is before I order one. The first I saw one
was a T&M catalogue and it was stunning, now I have been sent a "Daily
Mirror" catalogue which has them in, my wife got some plants from their
offer before and the plant quality was excellent. Last time I was at
yours I was told that you don't have any.

Oh, dear, an UN-satisfied customer. ;-( For what it's worth and as a
personal opinion only, we don't stock it because Ray doesn't "think much of
it" as he puts it. From the Vanderplank description, it sounds as if the
colour *does* vary and AFAIK, that can happen quite a bit with Passiflorae.

As a PS to my own post, try www.theplantsman.com Guy certainly lists it for
sale at 12.90. It's an excellent nursery in north Devon, specialising in
climbers only and only by mail order.
