I need some experts!

Colorado Springs, CO(Zone 6a)

I'm having a hard time identifying my passiflora. I have been searching for 5 fingered leafed varieties, but it's hard when most pictures are only of flowers, with little to no pictures of the leaves.

I was thinking P. Incense, but Clare's pictures dont look like my leaves. The flower is a lavender color, in about a week I'll have a bloom to show you a picture. But for now, do you experts have any ideas? Thank you guys!

Well I think I found my own answer. I should have just kept looking!

Is it the same bloom as caerulea? A lot of the hybrids might have the same leaf shape.

Good point. As far as I can remember, it bloomed last year lavender. Haha, which part and how much of the flower, my memory escapes me. But I have about a dozon buds about to give a show, so I'll really be able to tell then.

There is one bud on my plant that is much further along than the rest. It's getting stiffer and feeling more full than the rest. Can you tell by this pic how long it will be before it blooms? (I'm so impatient aren't I !? Lol)

Art_n_garden, it definitely will be easier to tell which one it is when it flowers. It looks like it could be P. Caerulea, but if it has lavender flowers, it is probably a different hybrid like Poppysue said. It looks like it will bloom in about a week, I think!

She's right I thought it was bigger

Yay! It bloomed today. It looks like that picture, so I do believe it is P. Caerulea Blue. Thank you all for helping me id it.
I'll try to post a picture later, but for some reason my digital camera completely over exposes light during the day. Grrr.

And monterey and Clare-- you were both right-- took 5 days! Oh I'm so excited!!

Here it is. Sorry for the bad quality, but it shows one of the other 21 buds about to open, I had no idea it liked the conditions so much!

So yes, yall still think its caerulea?
