Re: [efloraofindia:76987] Re: efloraofindia 786543 Passion flower creeper at PUNE
Till today I was under the impression that Passion flower is only of blue colour as I had seen only blue passion flower. But today I learned to my surprise that it is also whitish and red in colour. I have always wondered why does the same flower have different colours other eg. like Hibiscus, Rose Any explanation? I also want to share some interesting info I came across about Krishna kamal/ Passion flower So, long story behind the name Krishna Kamal. There are (apparently) a 100 of those blue petals - one for each of the Kauravas, and 5 of the green ones in the centre - one for each of the Pandavas. The green bulb in the centre symbolises the Pandava queen Draupadi, and the three filaments are for the holy trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv. AND the white radial in the centre is the Sudarshan chakra of Lord Krishna. Bhagyashri On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 5:44 PM, Mahadeswara swamy.c...@gmail.com wrote: Beautiful photographs.

This may not be P. caerulea as I said it's difficult to conclude from these pics. There are many hybrids and similar looking species. Passiflora caerulea may not necessarily have 5 lobed leaves as per its description. Number of lobes may vary according to the age of the plant as well as the nutrients available as per my personal experience of growing some species of Passiflora.

I also want to share some interesting info I came across about Krishna kamal/ Passion flower So, long story behind the name Krishna Kamal. There are (apparently) a 100 of those blue petals - one for each of the Kauravas, and 5 of the green ones in the centre - one for each of the Pandavas. The green bulb in the centre symbolises the Pandava queen Draupadi, and the three filaments are for the holy trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv.
