Passiflora: the flower of passion.
Every time I see this flower I stop to look at it because I truly consider it one of the most beautiful that can be found in the area.
The colors, the shape, the scent... it has everything to leave you speechless.
I took some photos, colored a little in hdr, which I hope you like.

Passiflora L. is a genus of plants in the Passifloraceae family that includes about 465 species of perennial and annual herbaceous plants, shrubs with a climbing and liana habit, shrubs and small trees, up to 5–6 m tall, native to Central and South America, with some species from North America, Australia and Asia. The name of the genus, adopted by Linnaeus in 1753 and meaning “passion flower” (from the Latin passio = passion and flos = flower), was given to it by the Jesuit missionaries in 1610, due to the similarity of some parts of the plant with the religious symbols of the Passion of Christ: the tendrils to the whip with which he was flagellated, the three styles to the nails, the stamens to the hammer, the corolla rays to the crown of thorns.
