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.

Sounds like an Amythyst Lady, a caerulea derivative?
