I would like to get Lavender Lady, but I wanted the filiments to look like the picture. Why does yours look like that instead of the normal look?That is what I am looking for, all the other pics have the straight out filiments, is this a cross-bred or something?

Rylaff, it is beautiful, but I don't think it is Lavender Lady. It looks more like P. Incense. If you compare your flower to the other Lavender Lady's post at the Plants Database, you will see that the other filiments are so much shorter than yours. Look at Lavender Lady in this link and see how short the filiments are: http://www.kwekerijgommer.com/passiflora_foto's.asp

Here's a picture of my P. Incense:

Clare, I think you are right. I found another picture I had taken of the flower last year. You can see how short the filament is.

I think yours is much prettier than Lavender Lady, and I bet yours is fragrant too whereas Lavender Lady is not. The frilly, wavy filiaments make me think it is P. Incense.
