I love the Passion Flower. The conservatory near where I live used to have purple and red vines. Now they only have the red ones. Cool photo

When the Spanish and Portuguese missionaries came to the Americas in the 16th century, they used the Passion Flower as a symbolic way to teach about the story of Jesus Christ.
The 10 petals represent Jesus’ Faithful Apostles
The five “anthers” are symbolic of the five Sacred Wounds Jesus suffered
The circle of filaments in the center of the flower represent the Crown of Thorns.
The three purple stigma represent the 3 nails holding Jesus to the cross.

I just captured the first Passion Flower earlier this week while visiting in Ft Lauderdale. Beautiful flower. I only had my iPhone at the time. Great capture!
