Sorry if the coloring in your pic is pink-ish and I couldn't tell! I happy to have a red-green color deficiency. Lol

For the two plants mentioned as possibilities, here are links to the database where you can view photos for comparison:
Island Mallow (Malva assurgentiflora)
Pink Passionflower Vine (Passiflora jamesonii 'Coral Seas')
Jolana said:Passion vines are my absolute favorite and I have tried and tried to get them to root in water. I haven't had luck that way, not to say you wouldn't
I have a piece of bamboo about a quarter inch diameter, I use for making a hole in the soil for cuttings
I clip a piece , taking the leaves off , make a hole , water
I have 98 to 99% rate of it rooting
For whatever reason years ago, I tried with rooting hormone but it didn't work with my passies
Works with everything else I have tried but again, not to say it wouldn't work for you
Good luck
And welcome!!

I use the Forsyth Pot method (sometimes spelled Forsythe) to root most things and have good success. It may not work for every plant but it costs almost nothing to try. I use the rooting hormone to up the odds of success but it is not always needed.
Good luck and I hope you have success.
