I find it fascinating to learn of the symbolism behind the parts of the plant, and its name now gives me a new understanding of the term "passion." It makes sense! LOVED this!<br />By the way - it was great seeing you and visiting with you! :) Naomi (Culver) McColloughNaomi (Culver) McColloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03930998059945093813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-37953258959673441772019-09-06T13:21:02.287-07:002019-09-06T13:21:02.287-07:00Dear Troutbirder, I've never seen or heard of ...Dear Troutbirder, I've never seen or heard of this flower. And I'm amazed that the Spanish gardeners saw so much of the crucifixion in it. It became a read mediation didn't it--on life and death. Peace.

I hope it does well under your care and returns to the memory care home raring to go next spring.

It's very hardy, here in Southern California, and winds its way up onto my roof even! It took me a while to figure out this plant was. My neighbor didn't know either. The flower is beautiful. I'm not a fan of the fruit. Although I do know people who love it. Now I'm curious to try a recipe from this book. Have you tried any of the recipes yet?

We pinched off some of the blossoms so there were two remaining "arms" and pretemded they were ballerinas. We cut open and carved the pods into doll carriages, boats, and all sorts of things. And there was great fun stomping on them to hear them pop. They grow wild all along the roadsides in NC. I had never heard the religious meanings, although that would not likely have encouraged us to treat them with more respect.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-69079509144208763292019-09-01T07:22:32.329-07:002019-09-01T07:22:32.329-07:00I have seen passion flowers before but never knew ...I have seen passion flowers before but never knew the meaning.

It was a welcomed addition to the view from our sliding glass doors. Alas, the family moved to a more rural area and the next owner cleared the former owner's jungle. I missed it because of the variety of blooms and the privacy it provided. Best wishes in your adventures with new activities.LChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369350929348290480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399515599170267990.post-10009886854277584822019-08-27T20:01:33.556-07:002019-08-27T20:01:33.556-07:00Pretty!
