Today's Photo: Passion Flower
Did you know that a passion fruit is so named because of its flower (see photo below)?
The ten petals represent the apostles, the three bits in the middle the Trinity, and there are lots of other details I can't remember...

Another smashing picture. I believe the blue spiky-looking things represent the crown of thorns, the ten petals the apostles (minus Judas and Peter, I think), the top three stigma the nails, and the five things beneath (not sure what they're called), the wounds of Christ.

Was it Peter that denied being Jesus's friend/apostle three times before the cock crowed? I guess that would put him in semi-traitor spot next to Judas.
Lovely photo. I've enjoyed the fruit before but never seen the flower, fantastic.
