This passion flower growing in my garden in the north of England is full of symbolic meaning. It is called a passion flower because it is linked with the crucifixion of Jesus, The purple spiky edging represents the crown of thorns in Royal Purple. The 3 brown stamens are the nails he was crucified with. The 5 green Anthers are the 5 wounds of Christ.(2 hands, 2 feet and the stab in his side by the soldiers lance).The flower only blooms for just a short time then dies.The tendrils represent the whips Jesus was beaten with and the 10 petals are the disciples minus Peter and Judas who both betrayed Jesus. Such a beautiful flower with such a powerful back story.

I have been a travel photographer for the past 30 years selling my work via photo libraries. I would welcome any comments you might wish to make about the choice I have made of images to submit to Fineartamerica. Photography has been my passion for 30 years and I also teach it to pass on my knowledge to the next generation. I get the greatest buzz to think that long after I depart this life, my work may still be earning an income for my great great grandchildren. To me that is a sort of immortality. For free slideshows of some of my trips please see my website at www.brenda-kean.pixels.com, or at https://www.instagram.com/quasarphotos . If you see something you like tell me and I will put it up on Fineartamerica for you to buy PLEASE...
