Is it caerulea?

19 years ago

I got this vine from a cutting from a friend (who bought it with no tag in it), and I'd like to know if its the hardy kind or not. It's flower looks just like photos of caerulea, but I grew a caerulea from seed and the leaves don't look exactly the same, so I'm not sure. My caerulea has narrower leaves and the leaves are straight on the edges, not wavy like this one's. Let me see if I can figure out how to put photos...

The leaves look exactly like the leaves on my caerulea. I vote that it is a p.caerulea.

Thanks! Hmmm, maybe I had a seed mix up and my other one is incarnata after all. I'm waiting on a flower on that one to tell for sure.

It is a caerulea- but as I look in my Farbatlas Passionsblumen there's 9 known variants.. Yours lookes closest to 'Majorca' or 'Spyder' but isn't an exact match to either.

Another example of genetic diversity I guess.
