The passion flower Passiflora acquired its name from descriptions of its flower parts supplied in the Seventeenth Century by Spanish priests in South America, known at that time as the 'New Spain'. It was known by the Spanish as “La Flor de las cinco Llagas” or the “The flower with the five wounds.” In 1609, Giacomo Bosio, a churchman and historian in Rome, interpreted the parts of the flower to represent various elements of the Crucifixion. The five petals and five sepals are the ten disciples, less Judas & Peter. The corona filaments are the crown of thorns. The five stamen with anthers match the five sacred wounds, and the three stigma represent the nails. The flower in this image was growing in the artist’s garden in California, where it graced a vine-covered trellis, sweet with the scent of its blooms.
