... Ajinkya knows his plants (he is a landscaper by profession) ... but there is always some iota of ambiguity when it comes to identifying garden species and varieties.
*P. caerulea*, I did not considered at all ... I *was* confused between *P. edulis* and *P. incarnata* ... added to confusion is contradictory images on internet. If I am remember correctly, on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora_incarnata, the flower picture seen now is different (uploaded on aug 2008) ... paler than the one earlier (which was ditto what I have with me on flickr) ... but I will not stress on my memory power. And, what we see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passiflora_edulis is Garg ji's flower posted here. There are quite a few *PASSIFLORA*s is found at FOI, among which: *P. caerulea*: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Blue%20Passion%20Flower.html *P. edulis*: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Passion%20Fruit.html *P. incarnata*: http://www.flowersofindia.net/catalog/slides/Purple%20Passion%20Flower.html (This is my contribution, will stand according to what will be discussed in this post) To kill this ambiguity, I request Tabish and Barry to comment. (Barry: I ask you because you reside nearer to these flowers' nativity). Thanks to Yazdi ji for his comments. Regards.
