Description
The Passion Flower is a common roadside weed, found throughout many areas of the
Southeastern United States where it often grows in large masses in ditches and open fields. There are 5 or 10 petals in a flat or reflex circle. The ovary and stamens are held atop a tall, distinctive stalk which is encircled by delicate filaments. The stigmas start out high above the anthers and slowly bend backwards to come closer for pollination.
Missionaries believed that several parts of the plant, including the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the crucifixion of Christ.
Thank you for looking at my Photography!!!
