Passionfruit

I took this photo almost two years

ago and have only just

resurrected it.

Yesterday I put it on 

my Facebook page

without any attached comment.

I was surprised at the level of response 

 and it's made me

look at it again.

An interesting point about

passionfruit, this South American plant,

 is that the name comes

from the flower whose parts 

were thought by missionaries to represent the

instruments of torture used in

the Passion of Christ eg the crown

of thorns, and the whips.
