is this Passiflora caerulea ?

DeLand/Deleon Spring, FL(Zone 8b)

Picked this up at a local nursery yesterday. It was the only one they had and it was in the "Bargain Barn" for 3.00
No tag, but the gal working there said she thought it was called a "Tri color". google search resulting in Tri color doesn't look like it.
I picked all the Gulf Frits off before I brought it home, as I have enough of my own already.
When I looking thru different ones and found caerulea I checked plant files. Weird cause several posters said the Gulf Frits won't use it. Well they were using this one !
The flower has a light fragrance.
thx

It looks like P. caerulea to me - that one has several different looks. Gulf frits will use it, although they don't like it nearly as well as they do P. incarnata. I've included a picture of my P. caerulea for comparison.

Sherry, thanks.
Our Gulf Frits don't care what kind of passi it is, they want it! I've got some no id reds ( as soon as they bloom i'll post) that I can't even put outside cause as soon as I do the Frit's are on em. My screened porch is refuge for cuttings I've potted up, and I also have a bench outside w/ bird netting surrounding it to keep them off some of them till they get big enough to handle it. Poor Zebra's and Julia's hardly get a chance !
