Great pictures, Jeff! Is that P. Mollissima in the last picture? The leaves kind of look like it. Don't worry if it is. P. Mollissima is a good grower and will soon be taking over the place. Passifloras can take a lot of catepillar damage and still look great. I love the fact that they attract butterflies.

Your Charles Grimaldi looks wonderful also. Are you going to put it in the ground? If you plant it in a five-gallon pot and sink it into the ground, then it will be easier to pull up in the fall to bring in. If you have buds now, you shouldn't have to wait more than a couple of weeks for flowers.

Yes, you got the names right. A great site for Passiflora identification is here: http://www.hewo.nl/Thumbnails.html

All of the ones that you mentioned are hybrids as well as the P. Amethystina hybrid that I sent you and P. Lady Margaret.

Here they are:

I have Superthrive and use it regularly after transplanting! It definitely works great to relieve transplanting shock.

This is P. Belotii down below:
