flowers and legends-passion flower
passion flower
Today @tximeleta has the flower challenge.
I present to you the one that greets me every day in spring.
She is on a wall on the way to work.
I can never stop admiring her.
Rare and beautiful
Just what I like.

There are many stories around this flower.
They say that when the Spanish conquered the Americas
A priest found it and in it he saw the passion of Christ.
I guess in those days it was normal.
Religion commanded.
But there are many legends and I stay with that.
They count:
That Mburukujá a beautiful and beautiful girl of Spanish origin.
He arrived in the Americas to marry according to his father's wishes, with a high-ranking Spanish soldier.
That would bring prosperity to Spanish.
But she was not convinced.
He was an old man with bad manners.
She consoled herself by taking great walks.
That relieved her and she did not have to be surrounded by soldiers.
It was a new world full of secrets and beauty.
On his walk he met a young Guaraní aborigine.
The captive and her dates were secret and happy.
But one day the father of Mburukujá saw whole.
Very angry, he thought that all his dreams were vanishing.
That could not be. He expected to thrive in the new world.
So the solution was to kill the pagan Indian.
***
Without thinking and without remorse is what he did.
But when his beautiful daughter saw him.
He could not with the pain of his heart.
Taking a feather arrow, he stuck it in his heart.
The arrow stuck in the shape of a flower.
Falling his inert body on top of his beloved.
***
After the days in the same place where the lovers watered the soil with their love blood began to grow a plant with a strange shape never seen.
They put the name of the beautiful maid who had accepted them as people.
A strange flower as strange is love.
