Is this a passiflora flower bud?

11 years ago

This passiflora vine has been growing (from seed) on my nectarine tree for three years. This morning I found something that looks like a flower bud (the lighter color bud). It's been more than 50 years since I saw a passi flower bud. Would someone help me? I am so excited. Want so much to find out what color flower I have. Thank you.

It is kind of hard to tell from this photo, perhaps another angle. What plant is it?

Here's another shot from today. It's a volunteer that looks like passiflora.

The leaf looks like p.caerulea or one of its hybrids however that bud looks too light for p.caerulea. It has the nectary glands like a passy. Got me. The bloom should tell you for sure :-)

The bud has gotten too light that is looks like it's dying. I may have to wait for another bloom.

Found my answer from this photo (the flower buds). I'll know what to look for in the future.

a light bud like that will not develop, imo
