Passiflora Vitifolia, a beautiful Perfumed Passion flower!

I saw this vine flower growing near my sister's school in Mabuhay Street. I immediately guessed that it is a relative of the passion flower but I cannot find similar images in the net. Finally a friend recognized it as a passion flower variety a native to Central and South America. The fruit of the plant is also edible!

Vines: Cissus Sicyoides, Curtain ivy , Princess Vine

This aerial roots of this vine makes nice dividers and a good screen to avoid butterflies from getting out of a butterfly dome. I found this one in Paradise Ranch, Pampanga inside a butterfly house, but I did NOT photograph the vine plant itself which was difficult to do since it was an overcast rainy day.

Here is what I believe a flower and leaves or the curtain vine.

Hopefully, next time I will be able to post more photos focusing on both vine and curtain roots.
