I finally have a Passion Flower plant, but I am not quite sure what to do with it because I don't know what kind it is and if it's hardy.

I guess my first question is if anybody can identify it. As far as I know, the Maypop Passion Flower is the only one hardy here, and only if it's really well protected in winter. I assumed this was a Maypop, but I don't know why I assumed that.

Here's the pic -- taken at night. There are no flowers on it, and it's on a trellis & planted in a 1 gallon pot. I can take another picture of it if you tell me what specifically you're looking for.

Thanks,
Suzy
