Passiflora violacea'Purple Passion'

My new addition to the conservatory planting. When I saw this one advertised as having 'strong perfume' and saw it's beautiful purple blooms, I couldn't resist. Of course it arrived in a tiny plug and this is after a few weeks growing on. However, I'm hopeful that I may get some blooms this year...they grow fast! :) It should also produce some orange but inedible fruits.

Yes Pansy. As far as I know they are all climbers, some bigger than others. I think this one will be a fair size.
