Passion Flower vine 6 Fresh 2010 seeds
Passion flowers are exotic looking tropical plants.

My plant came from seeds off of my hubby's Grannies plant in Kentucky. I kept trying to get one going with starts off hers..they never made it. So I brought a passion fruit home and finally got some started by seeds. I planted one..it didn't come back, I put one in a fairly decent size pot,it bloomed last summer and this will be it's second yr.it is growing now in the house.I had one fruit from it last year.
It is now outside and BLOOMING!!!

It is called ‘passion-flower’ due to parts of the flower resembling the crown of thorns, nails and other symbols of Christ’s suffering. The passionflower is associated with faith, holy love, religious fervour and superstition. It is a prominent Christian flower symbol as its pointed leaf resembles a spear, the tendrils the whips, the column of the ovary signifies the cross and the dark circle of threads in the centre the crown of thorns.
The flower portrays the passion of Christ.
The three days’ life span of the flower is supposed to mean- “so shall the son of man be three days and nights in the heart of the earth”

Questions & Comments

Oh wow! I used to see these plants when I was kid - they were all over the place where I lived. I didn't see them again until a few months ago when I was out on horseback and we went past a plant. They are SO beautiful. I am going to bid but I don't have many credits. If you would be interested in trading any extra seeds you have that are not in this auction, feel free to send me a private message. Now that I am an herbalist I am constantly on the lookout for plants/herbs and passion flower has some really good medicinal benefits as well as being pretty. LOL
fanned, watching, and bidding
