Passion fruit is so amazing!!


(this whole bit is from Wikipedia)

The distinctive flower of the passion fruit plant is called Passion flower or Passionflower, and is noted for its unusual visual characteristics. The leaves and roots of the plant have medicinal uses and are also called Passion flower.

Early European explorers gave the plant its common name because the flower's complex structure and pattern reminded them of symbols associated with the passion of Christ. It was said that the flower contained the lashes received by Christ, the crown of thorns, the column, the five wounds and the three nails.

(how passionate...)
