noid passiflora cutting

16 years ago

today i found a passiflora on a schools fence. it was huge covering over half of the fence which was pretty long, so naturally i took a cutting off of it. the thing that i found strange was that its leaves had 5 lobes instead of 3. does anyone know what kind of passiflora is. also im trying my hand at rooting it, i put it in a glass with some water in it and i put some rooting hormone in it too. i put a link to some photos of one of the flowers and a leaf.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Most likely it is P. caerulea - the Blue Passion flower. They have 5 lobe leaves, and are hardier than most.

That does look like a caerulea leaf. Go back when its flowering and you'll be able to tell for sure. My caerulea's been flowering like mad for the past month, and now my Constance Eliott is getting in on the action as well.
