A Little History: Fleur de Passiflore (Flower of Passion)

Peru, 1856. Spanish explorers engulfed in hardships, were ready to turn back when they came across this fascinating vine. Believing its intricate flower held the signs of the "Christ Passion," the Spaniards pressed on and eventually overtook the Aztec's.

What the Spanish saw:
*The ten petals and sepals represent the ten faithful apostles (excluding St. Peter the denier and Judas Iscariot the betrayer).
*The flower's radial filaments, which can number more than a hundred and vary from flower to flower, represent the crown of thorns.
*The 3 stigmas represent the 3 nails and the 5 anthers below them the 5 wounds (four by the nails and one by the lance).
*The blue, purple and white colors of many species' flowers represent Heaven and Purity.
