THE STORY OF THE PASSION VINE 
There are many different varieties, but most of them climb by 
means of tendrils. They are natives of tropical America. The 
peculiar charm of these plants, lies in the odd flowers, the parts 
of which according to early Spanish and Italian travelers, repre- 
sent the implements of the crucifixion. The flower is made up of 
five petals that are arranged in a whorl; there is also present five 
petal-like lobes. These ten parts of the floral envelope or pod 
were thought to represent the ten apostles present at the cruci- 
fixion. Peter and Judas being absent. Inside this envelope or pod 
is a showy crown with colored fringes; this was taken to repre- 
sent the crown of thorns. There are five stamens, which is the 
pollen bearing organ of the flower. This suggests to some the 
five wounds, to others it is thought to be emblematic of the 
hammers which were used to drive the three nails. These nails 
being represented by three styles, which is the stalk inside the 
flowers, between the ovary and the stigma, on which the pollen 
falls to fertilizer the flower. The stamens that protrude from the 
center of the flower are branched so as to resemble a cross.
