Passiflora Online - Passiflora caerulea sport
  sub sole sub umbra virens

 


 

  A remarkable, but not unusual, phenomenon showing two totally different flowers on one Passiflora caerulea plant. A 'Constance Eliott' type at the front and an ordinary blue one at the back on the  right. Occasionally a particular stem (known as a 'sport') will start producing different flowers. Cutting it off and rooting it will create a new plant that will produce in this case white flowers only.

  Apologies to the lady who kindly sent this as I have lost your details. I will be happy to credit you if you contact me again.
