Just browsing about the passion flower, knew it was something to do with Christ, its such a beautiful flower, and many other wonderful species.. some lovely sites listed with all the pictures, amazing. :)
Symbolism

"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 & the three stigma the nails. This symbolism is not universal however, in Japan it is sometimes known as 'The Clock-faced Plant' and apparently has recently been adopted as as symbol for homosexual Japanese youths."
