Passion flower perfection
These beautifully intricate and complex flowers were viewed by early missionaries as a symbol of the crucifixion and were thought to represent the Passion of Christ, hence its name. I find their construction fascinating and this vine grows opposite our front door on a neighbour’s fence.
