There are definitely ones that are reddish, and I could see that some of them might appear orange. But there's also definitely a possibility that she was confusing it with something else, hard to say without seeing a picture of the plant. Here are the passies in Plant Files, if you scroll through you'll see that there are some that could potentially be described as orange http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=passiflora&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&searcher%5Bgrex%5D=&search_prefs%5Bblank_cultivar%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=with&Search=Search

Hi ecrane3,thanks for your reply.I think,like you,that she is confusing it with something else.It was bought from a garden centre and she was told it was a passionflower so believes it to be true!As itīs hard to find an ordinary,bog standard passionflower in a garden centre here in this region of Spain,I canīt believe this particular place was selling a brand new cultivar !!! Regards, Tecoma
