Hortus Amicus w/ Izabelė • Vol III: Passiflora caerulea • 2026.05.18

Passiflora caerulea (Latin for “blue suffering flower”) is native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, although it was noticed by Spanish Christian missionaries in 16th century, who associated it with the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ — the Passion. Later, the flower came to embody the willingness to endure pain for burning love. Reflecting its symbolism, the plant produces flavonoids that enhance GABA activity and calm the nervous system.
