Passiflora organensis 'Mariana' is a beautiful cultivar of Passiflora organensis Gardner ( Passiflora porophylla Vell. after reclassification). It features lovely dark green foliage, with red and yellow spots and streaks that follow the course of the primary venation. On some leaves this colouration is completely yellow, on others red, and on still others the two colours combine or blend into each other. This depends on the growth phase of the leaves themselves: when young they tend to be red, turning progressively yellow as they age.
Genus name: from Latin passio + Flora, chosen by Linnaeus to replace earlier Flos Passionis. The species name is Dedicated to Ron Boender, founder of the Passiflora Society International and author of this species.
