Square Foot Garden
Spring 2011
Passion Vine Flower one of my favorites. Growing over the arch entering the garden.
PASSION FLOWER is a woody vine that has unusual blossoms. Roman Catholic priests of the lat 1500's named it for the Passion (suffering and death) of Jesus Christ. They believed that several parts of the plant, including the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the Passion. The flower's five petals and five petallike sepals represented the 10 apostles who remained faithful to Jesus throughout the Passion. The circle of hairlike rays above the petals suggested the crown of thorns that Jesus wore on the day of His death.
