PASSIONFLOWER. When the Spanish settlers came upon this flower in South and Central America, they found it so symbolic of the Crucifixion that they named it the flower of the Passion. In the five-part purple or lavender blossoms with stripes of white they saw the crown of thorns and the five marks of the wounds of Jesus. The styles were the three nails, and the stamens were the hammer that drove the nails into his hands and feet. The petals and sepals were the ten apostles, Judas and Peter being omitted because the one betrayed and the other denied his master. The leaves were the hands of the persecutors, and the clinging tendrils the scourges.

That is interesting and a nice pic.
