Nature's Children
By Lillian Cox Athey
Mavpop or Passion Flowers.
Wherever our native passion
flower grows, it is known as the
maypop, perhaps because the yel
low fruit Is ripe in May. One spe
cies ventures as far north as Penn
sylvania, others wander southward
from Missouri to Virginia and Flor
ida, but the most beautiful ones
are found in our Southern States
and in tropical America.
The early Spanish and Italian
explorers, coming upon the flower
for the first tme, gave to it the
name passion flower. One of them,
looking with awe upon the blood
red-splashed petals, remarked, “Its
blossoms must have been designed
by the Creator that they might, in
time, assist in the conversion of the
heathen among which it grows."
In their excitement, the men
saw symbols of Christ and his suf
ferings. The strange make-up and
colorings of the flowers stirred them
to record what they saw.
The 10 colored parts of the floral
envelope were believed to repre
sent the 10 apostles present at the
crucifixion is Peter and Judas being
absent. Within the corolla is a showy
crown or corona of colored fila
ments or fringes which they likened
to the crown or halo. The five
stamens represent the five wounds
or the emblematic hammer used
to drive the nails; and the nails are
represented by the three styles with
capitate stigmas, while the axillary
tendrils stand for the cords or
scourges. The large digitate leaves
suggested to the men the hands
of the Saviour's tormentors.
The column, crown and nails are
pure green. The fcrown is often
surrounded by a misty veil of fine
violet-colored hairs, i The unusual
colors of the passion flowers, with
their splashes of red, appeal to
every flower grower.
It is not difficult to grow them.
Plants may be propagated by cut
tings or seeds. Rooting Is accom
plished from January until mid
dle April. Cuttings should be
placed In a warm propagating bed
until sufficiently rooted, then trans
ferred to small pots filled with
loam, peat and sand and returned
to the bed to become established be
fore being placed in a sunny win
dow.
Given an opportunity, the plant
climbs over porches, rafters and
sides of houses, their great green
leaves and brilliant blossoms cre
ating a dramatic, colorful effect.
