    The Passion flower
is an evergreen climbing plant
with exotic looking flower's
Sometimes followed
by brightly coloured fruits
The stemens
the 12 disciples
the petals purple
deep mauve 
Stigma tall center
much taller
symbols the cross
Difficult grow in the garden
we tried the front
then the back
Along came daughter and friend
but seemed to have hacked them
back to far
they are such a beautiful flower
never knew what they stood for
Till once I worked in an office
boss was wearing one
told me presents
Jesus the only one
passion for all
love all over the world

Thankyou for a simply beautiful read.
Jenny.

Enjoyed your poem, Julie;-)
