Hi,Folks, does anybody have any idea what colour is the Passion
Flower
variety called 'Sabine'-

I think you may be confused, Sabine isn't a variety.
His name is at the end of some botanical names because he was a
botanist......
e.g.
Passiflora caeruleo-racemosa Sabine

Thanks Bob, Yes I probably am confused but I bought a job lot from a
local nursery labelled 'Sabine' and he did not know the colour, I'll
just have to wait until they flower and sell them next year. (I Have
35)

Someone may be able to ID it from the leaf if you can scan in a pic of
that. But the Passion Flowers that are sold to live outdoors in UK are
usually Passiflora caerulea and P. caerulea Constance Elliott. If
you've bought one for a conservatory, the choices are huge!
