We've never had a passion vine until this year. This bloom has looked this way for a couple days. It just doesn't seem very "perky" and is pointed toward the ground.
I didn't know if it got droopy because it was about to die or if it is supposed to be like that and is about to bloom.
I don't even know if you can tell that by a picture, but it was worth a shot
now I'm new to these as well... got mine by accident at Wal-Mart... they had it labeled as a mandevillia... of course I knew better by the look of that blossom... what mine does is it blooms and as the sun set it closes up.... I assume they all do this... and then I'm left with a closed-up, droopy, limp bloom.... from what I've been watching on these threads is this is normal and if we are lucky, a little passion FRUIT will develop... I bet yours bloomed and you just missed it... they are sneaky... amongst all those leaves... here's my Emperess Eugenie (p. belotii)...taken yesterday.... they smell SO DELICIOUS... I work in Houston, so by the time I make the 30 mile trip home in the evening, these babies have lost their scent and are closing up... so every weekend I pray for buds to open just so I can sniff 'em... they smell like lemony Ivory soap... mmmmm :-)
Can't offer much as far as proffesional help or advise crazy4vines, but judging by the green healthy stems in the pic. the bloom is healthy. If the bloom has the habit of drooping that might be because of the angle it is growing at and amount of space it has to live in. Maybe try spreading out the stems abit and tagging them away from the bloom to give the bloom more room to show off it's grandiere display.
Just my 1 or 2 cents.
good luck with more help.

Crazy, your vine looks perfectly normal to me - the bloom is either just opening or just finishing - it's hard to tell from the photo.
Shoob, your passiflora appears to be the gorgeous Belotti - congrats - it's a real beauty!
I was going to say that it looks like it just finished blooming.
