It seems like when I had my passiflora (caerulea 'Clear Sky') outside and it bloomed, the blooms stayed open for a week maybe. Now that it's inside and blooming, the first bloom stayed open just three days, and the second one only one day. Is that what they normally do? Those blooms closed up and now it looks like they're getting ready to dry up and fall off (they're getting wrinkly sort of).
It's got a few more blooms coming on, too, so I think it's healthy enough.

Do passiflora blooms stay open for very long?
Most passionflowers only stay open one or maybe two days. In hot weather, they usually only last one day(or one half day for some like foetida). Brugie had one last year that stayed open about a week, can't remember which one it was.
Oh good. I was kind of worried that something was wrong. LOL. It sure seemed like they stayed open longer than that this summer, but maybe not.
