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.
