Top 10 Most Beautiful Passion Flowers
Passiflora (passion flower) is an evergreen climber with beautiful and exotic looking flowers. Early explorers and missionaries of Christianity used the intricate parts of this flower to tell the story of the death of Jesus. According to the legend, the 10 petals and sepals represented the 10 apostles who remained faithful to Jesus throughout the Passion. The filaments symbolized the crown of thorns that Jesus wore on the day of His death. The plant also bears brightly coloured fruits which are relished by the local people.
