| The Passion Flower (Passiflora) was declared the "State Wildflower" of Tennessee in (1973). The passion flower is also commonly called "May Pop" and the "Wild Apricot". This flower grows wild in the southern part of the United States and in South America. It received its name from early Christian missionaries to South America, who saw in the flower's various parts the following symbols of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ: the three crosses, the crown of thorns, nails and cords. |
