The Blue Passion Flower (Passiflora caerulea), also known as the Common Passion Flower, is a vine native to South America Uruguay , Brazil and Argentina (where it is known as the Pasionaria or Mburucuyá in Guaraní). These names may also be applied to Passiflora edulis sometimes known as the passionfruit'.

It is popular with gardeners because of its intricate, scented flowers that have an almost plastic-looking appearance. The unusual shape of the flowers has led to the plant being associated in Christian symbolism with the passion of Jesus; the three stigmas representing the three nails used to nail Jesus to the cross, the ovary and its stalk represent the chalice of the Last Supper, the five anthers represent the five wounds, the corona represents the crown of thorns, the ten 'petals' (actually five petals and five sepals) the apostles (save Judas the traitor and Peter the denyer); the old leaves also represent the hands of those who persecuted Him, the young leaves the point of the lance used to stab Him, and the tendrils the whips of those who beat Him.

A woody vine capable of growing to 15–20 m height where supporting trees are available. The leaves are alternate, palmately five-lobed like a spread hand (sometimes three or seven lobes), 10–18 cm long and wide. The base of each leaf has a flagellate twining tendril 5–10 cm long, which twines round supporting vegetation to hold the plant up.

The flower is complex, about 10 cm diameter, with the five sepals and petals similar in appearance, whitish in colour, surmounted by a corona of blue or violet filaments, then five greenish-yellow stamens and three purple stigmas. Usually fragrant. The fruit is an oval orange-yellow berry 6 cm long by 4 cm diameter, containing numerous seeds; it is eaten and the seeds spread by mammals and birds. In tropical climates it will flower all year round.

Bunea profundidad y excelente juego de colores Adrian. Quizá algo justa de luz en algunas zona, lo que no quita que sea un excelente conjunto.
Saludos: Josep Ignasi.

Adrian,
Intradevar, prima impresie este a unei antene intens colorste, care, de ce nu, poate sa asculte si martienii!
Insa daca ne uitam cu atentie carei specii apartine, cred ca ea asculta doar discutiile pasionale dintre ei!!!!
Mariana

Excellent composition, good light and beautiful colours,

TFS, best regards,

Hi Adrian
Wonderful picture. Very interesting point of view. Nice natural colours and good exposition.
That's a pity that you've cut two petals of the flower (the uppermost and the lowermost) and also I can see a bit of noise in the background. I've tried to use NeatImage to remove it and than I've sharpen the image with Photoshop Elements (you can see the result in Workshop - I hope you don't mind).
Thanks for sharing
Ania

Hello Adrian,

Lieber Adrian,
Ja, da hast Du eine schöne und spezielle Blume fotografiert, vielleicht hattest du ja Kontakt zu den Marsmenschen :-)!
Gute diagonale Komposition, die die aparte Blume zur Geltung bringt. Ich sehe sie auch manchmal in unseren Botanischen Garten.
Wünsche eine schöne Woche.
Herzlich grüsst
Anne

Hallo Adrian,
eine wirklich tolle Aufnahme der blauen Passionsblume. Ich bin ein großer bewunderer dieser Pflanzengattung. In Brasilien wachsen sie wild und soweit ich mich erinnern kann (ist schon fast 20 Jahre her), habe ich sie dort in verschiedenen Farbtönen bewundern können. Dein Bild ist klasse fokussiert und hat sehr schöne Farben. Danke auch für die ausführlichen Infos.
Viele Grüße,
Helmut
