Giant Granadilla. This is what missionaries called it in the 18th century. The five stamens of the flower were to symbolize the five wounds of Christ, the three-part mark of the pistil was the cross and the frayed cup was a crown of thorns. In the appearance of the flowers, an analogy was sought with the crucifixion of Christ. The giant passion flower is a beautiful tropical climber from South America.
