JD, your Charles Grimaldi looks great! I'm glad it put on a show for you and your guests yesterday. The flower color is pretty light and should darken as the flower ages and as temperatures increase. Here's a recent picture of one of mine below.

Your Passiflora sounds like the P. Morifolia I sent you. It has very small flowers, which are almost unnoticeable unless you look really hard, and it bears a ton of inedible fruit which is green and turns purple. The seeds do come true as this vine is self-pollinating. I ended up removing this vine because it had too much fruit and the flower was so little. This vine is so vigorous that it will not be slowed much by producing fruit but harvesting the fruit could lead to more flowers. If you can post a picture of the flower, we can confirm what it is for you.
