Aug. 24, 2007 - S&T- Passion Flower
CanadaGirl is the hostess for Show & Tell, if you would like to be part of it go here.
~ Passion Fruit ~
There 16 varieties with 600 species of Passion Fruit throughout the world, with 150 found only in Brazil.
I can still remember our Passion fruit vines. Some days, I would loose my self into it's beauty and scent. I was fascinated with their vivid, deep colors and their beautiful exquisite, graceful design. I think it looks like a work of art. Only a creator in all His awesome infinite wisdom could create just so much beauty. I can't imagine the thought that this flower/fruit just evolved out of nothing.
These beautiful flowers are often used in flower bouquets and cake decorating.
The fruit is very juicy and used in cakes, ice cream, candy, mousse and flan (our national desert). Yummy......
This fruit is also known for it's natural tranquilizing ingredients, which is also used in medicines.
This one flower resembles the one kind of Passion Flower we had at home.
Passion Fruit juice is sold at some grocery stores. My Super Walmart, sell it along with the other juice carton, in the refrigerator section and also at the international food section.

Those are incredibly beautiful! What a lovely place Brasil must be. I can't imagine being able to see such things growing in the wild. As you know, Indiana is not exactly paradise! Have a great weekend.

I've never had passion fruit before. The flowers are gorgeous. Remember that candy that you brought with you that day to my house that you let us try? I remembered what it tasted like. Like dehydrated apricots. Have you had those? Talk to you later my sweet sister! (((hugs)))

OK...are these pictures of flowers that turn into the passion fruit??? Gorgeous!
I think I had passion fruit when I stayed in Costa Rica for 2 weeks a few years ago. The family we stayed with took my son and me to the markets in downtown San Jose often and made us try all these weird fruits that had no English names associated with! One of them looked just like your pic of passion fruit. It was good, but those seed were all stuck in the fleshy part that you eat, which was...well... not nice. |

They have the most exquisite flowers! We are to cold here to grow them but I have seen them at some peoples homes on the south end of the island in glass terariums on their homes and they do well there. So pretty. Thanks for sharing : )
