They come from North America, South America, Australia. More than 500 species are known. Many Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil and Peru – are arguing about the homeland of the passion flower.
There, the density of wild leaans of this kind is greatest. The gods of the passion flower are Catholic missionaries in South America. The name comes from the Spanish “pasión” – “passion flower”, as the missionaries called it so in honor of Christ’s Passions. Each part of the plant is named after the last days of Christ. The spread fingers of the leaves – the Holy Crucifix, the ten petals and the safflower – the faithful apostles, the threadlike crown of the color – the crown of the wreath, the cup-shaped pendant – the Holy Grail, etc.
It is an extremely lush plant and the positioning towards the sun is of particular importance for the blooming phase, which lasts from May to September. If your flower of passion is located in a shaded place, it will not bloom as if it were of direct sunshine. Sprinkle a lot during the summer season, the passionflowers adore the damp soil in the summer.
The colors of the passionflower are the most impressive part of this plant. White, blue, yellow, red and violet combinations - the colors of the passion flower snatch the eye at first glance. The fruits of some passoflors are edible and could be offered as an exotic dessert - for example, the macaroque. In Bulgaria some types of passionflowers are grown outdoors - in yards and gardens.
