More Tigers

The P. 'Purple Tiger' in my bedroom is blooming now. It's lighter colored than the plant that's outdoors.

This plant shares a pot with P. phoenicia, P. alata 'Hirt's Ruby Glow', P. 'Flying V', P. candollei and P. vitifolia 'Scarlet Flame'.

I'm not certain that there is enough light and humidity in my room for all these plants: the batwing passionflowers have both lost growth tips, possibly because the air is too dry. 'Purple Tiger' is supposed to by a large and fast-growing clone, so I built a climbing structure up the wall, that I will extend across the ceiling if it ever comes to that.
