Show Notes

A Passion flower, Passiflora in a South London garden that seemed as glamorous and exotic as the grandmother who grew it; both a little mysterious. A grower - Myles Steward Irvine, who read an article in a Sunday paper, sent off for a catalogue and ended up breeding them. What is the attraction of this plant? Spanish priests called it - La flor de las cinco heridas or the flower with five wounds: ‘A lot of people think the passion is to do with love but of course it’s the crucifixion.’
