Yeah, I'm hoping for the best - if it'll bloom that'd be awesome. I love the blooms of passion flowers, and can't wait to see if mine turns out to be the lighter pinkish variety or if they're the deep purple/blue kind...it seems like those are the two ends of the spectrum for this cultivar. I'd like to try a few others down here too next summer, but from most of what I can find, this variety and one of its parents (Incarnata) are hardy in my zone :( Maybe there are others? I don't know all that much so it'd be neat to hear what else you've been successful with up in NY!

I should show you WHY I even started growing these! Back in June, my girlfriend and I visited Shangri'La Botanical Gardens in Orange, TX and I happened to walk by a Passiflora Caerulea on our way out. I hadn't ever seen one of these flowers before, so I had to take a picture. It was mezmerizing! :)

Here's my shot of a Caerulea - but this is NOT mine lol. i wish!
