The Passion Flower (Passiflora) is a vine native of South America, Asia and Australia, and a very popular house flowering plant, full of good energies because of its special religious symbols. Passiflora brings peace in your house too. The name Passiflora’s flower is extremely popular, known all over the world as “The Passion Flower”. Its worth noting that its name doesn’t come from the passion of love, but refers to The Passion of Christ on the cross, so named because of its unique physical structures that suggest the symbols of Crucifixion. In the same spirit, Passiflora is known as “Espina de Cristo” (Christ’s Thorn) in Spain. *information comes from flowersgrowing.com with modification* Please enjoy Ian

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
