Passiflora

Passiflora Passiflora sp. It is a perennial shallow root vine shaped climb, climbing through a curl (2). Many species live in South America, mainly from southern Brazil, from Paraguay to northern Argentina, others are from the old world. Due to certain aphrodisiac characteristics, as the genus normally says, passion fruit is not as much as people think. Instead, these plants were named by early missionaries in South America, because flowers resemble the various elements of Christ's crucifixion: crowns of thorn (sundial); 5 wounds (5 One anther); whip

Passiflora incarnata is a deciduous passion fruit of American origin and should not be confused with the tropical species we found at the grocery store: usually Passiflora edulis in South America. But it does not mean that they are not the same size or have the same tropical flavor only because they are not tropical. John Muir said maypop is "the most delicious fruit I have ever had". Another rich fruit of the southeast province is persimmon. Native American persimmon is small compared to Japanese persimmon you find in grocery store, but it does not mean that they are not sweet enough to mature. Make it by eating 10 at once to reach their size. I think that many people do not even know that there are such trees, but that is. I saw them with my own eyes.

There are few flowers on the earth comparable to the beauty of passion flower. (Flower of passion), maybe fruit is not symbolic than tropical fruit. However, the temperate climate of the United States inhabits the endemic species of Passiflora incarnata. Its unique anatomical features are far beyond the Earth's tropical regions.

Today, I will remember the passion booster fruit while walking my own pass schedule. In my study of his history, I found that this fruit is called Latin name Passiflora from many of its passionate flowers. Spanish missionaries are said to have offered this name with their exemplary aid to South America to introduce indigenous people to Christianity. When deeply drilling down on this story known as Passion Fruit, South America's Malakuya first saw the individual characteristics of the fruit flower as a symbol of Christ's crucifixion, or Christ's passion in the history of the Bible It was. . The color of red and purple symbolizes the color for the ritual of the holy week. Ears of this flower stand out from the center symbolizing the crown of thorns. Ten faithful apostles have ten petals. The three shame symbols represent three nails and the five anthers represent five wounds
