This is a picture of a Passiflora Coccinea or commonly known as a red passion flower. This flower belongs in the Passifloraceae Family. This flower attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. It is a tropical evergreen from South America. The passion flower can be used in herbal remedies that calms muscles, tension. It has been used to relieve anxiety, insomnia, restlessness and high blood pressure. So I guess the passion flower can relieve symptoms due to being passionate about something!
Thats all for today!
PS: I know this picture is not so nice so maybe I will take another one if I can.
