The Passion Vine Flower
Uploaded: June 29, 2006
~~ Passiflora Alatocaerulea ~~
While I was out on a deck having dinner, I couldn't help but notice the beautiful and unusual color flowers that were growing on a vine against the small brick wall across the way. My friend proceeded to tell me there was a biblical story of how the flower got it's name. The lacy crown that sticks up from the middle of the large 4-inch flowers symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Jesus Christ; the five stamens the five wounds; the three stigmas the nails; and the 10 daisy-like petals are said to represent the 10 faithful apostles.
