My Passion flower vine is climbing and flowering profusely. 

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.
