It has showy blue and white flowers and orange fruits. It is a member of the Passifloraceae family. The genus name of Passiflora relates to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In the 15th to 16th century, Roman Catholic priests named the plant for the Passion of Christ or suffering and death of Jesus Christ.
