Peter,
I really appreciate your witness in the comments section. God created so many beautiful things for us to enjoy. I'm so thankful for the sacrifice my Saviour made for me, and for us all.
Thanks for your comments on Beauty Fades.

P. Caerulea (The Blue Passion Flower) Hardy to freezing but will lose its' top growth and grow back from the roots in spring with a good mulch as long as the ground does not freeze. One of the most common passion flowers in the world originally from Brazil. The flower has white petals, with blue corona filaments up to 4" wide. Edible fruit is also produced with a bright orange skin and a rather tropical insipid taste.
Thanks for you comment, Peter

Very interesting shot. I like the wood fence as a backgrond. Your explanation also contributes to the overall enjoyment.
Thanks for your comment on my "Pretty in Pink" I learn from user comments. Thanks Peter.

Passion flower shows the crown of thorns (corona filaments) twisted and plaited, the three nails (stigma) and the column of the flagellation just as they appear on ecclesiastical banners. He writes that the insides of the petals are tawny in Peru, but in New Spain they are white tinged with rose-pink, the crown of thorns having a blood red fringe, suggesting the ?Scourge with which our blessed LORD was tormented?. He describes ?the column [androgynophore] rising in the centre of the flower surrounded by the thorn of crowns, the three nails at the top of the column. In between, near the base of the column is a yellow colour about the size of a reale, in which there are five spots or stains [stamens] of the hue of blood evidently setting forth five wounds received by our LORD on the cross?.
The colour of the column, crown [ovary] and the nails is clear green and the crown is surrounded by a kind of veil of very fine violet coloured hair. There are seventy two filaments (crona filaments) which, according to tradition, is the number of thorns in the crown of thorns set upon Christ?s head. ?The abundant and beautiful leaves are shaped like the head of a lance or pike like the spear that pierced the side of our Saviour, while the underside of the leaf is marked with dark round spots signifying thirty pieces of silver?, that Judas was paid to betray Christ.
