Passion Flower Tea

Native to tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas, 
Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata) is also called May-pops. 
It was discovered in 1569 by spanish explorers in Peru, who saw 
the flowers as symbolic of the passion of Christ, and hence a 
sign of Christ's approval for their efforts. Today, it is often 
dispayed as a symbol of faith. The term "passion flower" denotes 
many of the roughly 400 species of the genus Passiflora, which 
is made up primarily of vines. The flower is an attractive 
climber and regarded as one of the most graceful and elegant 
plants that can be used for covering trellises and arbors. Used 
by  early explorers , Indians and settlers alike, today Passion 
Flower is often employed for its soothing calming properties.
