Hi, all.

As requested, I got a photo of my Passion Vine this morning. It is very fragrant. The smell is O. K. in the ambient air, but close-up it is not entirely pleasant (reminded me somewhat of bug spray when I got a good whiff of it up close). The plant has 5 leaves (as seen in the photo attached).

It may be 'incense.' I thought my flower petals were a darker purple than the photo provided for 'incense,' but I think it may be that the petals just look lighter in the photo. I noticed the flash on my camera took out a lot of the color (as seen in the second photo).

Are there other fragrant Passiflores? or can I assume this one is 'incense?'
