Passiflora caerulea (may be poisonous!) ( Passion Flower is a woody vine with intricate blue, purple, red, or white flowers.  Several species, which act as sedatives and anxiolytics, are consumed as a tea or herbal supplement.  Some Passion Flower species may contain small amounts of MAOIs, potentially interacting with other chemicals and medications.  And some species, notably P. caerulea, also contain poisonous cyanogenic glycoside.)

The National Flower Of Paraguay

Passion flowers blooming all at the same time in the conservatory. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

This national flower of Paraguay has possibly some kind of calming effects and had been used by some to treat anxiety. A bunch of these are now growing in the Cloud Forest but I don’t think they are meant for the staff.

Plant of the Day

Friday 8 November 2024

Probably the last flower of the season for this climber Passiflora caerulea (blue passion flower, blue crown, common passion flower, flower of five wounds). It was on a garland of stems appearing over a garden wall to surprise me on the street.

The roses in this shot from the Walpurgis no Kaiten trailer are pretty obvious at first glance, but take a look at the arch in the background. Those are passionflowers (Passiflora sp.) and their symbolic meaning, like the roses, is abundantly clear: someone loves Madoka very much--passionately, even. I wonder who it could possibly be?

However, passionflowers are named for a different kind of passion--the passion of Jesus Christ, with Catholic priests likening different parts of the flower to his suffering and death. With a few exceptions, each flower only lasts for a single day before dying. Given Homura's Catholic background and propensity for self-sacrifice, that symbolism practically writes itself, especially since the flowers are also purple, the same color as her soul gem.

As if that were not enough, passionflowers are known in Japanese as tokeisō (時計草) or 'clock plant' and I just... this is not even remotely subtle anymore, is it? I cannot see enough detail to identify to species, and there are hundreds of them + cultivars, but the most likely suspect is the blue passionflower, P. caerulea, which is very common in cultivation.

Roses and passionflowers do not typically bloom at the same time, so this is another subtle indication that time no longer follows normal rules and reality is what Homura makes of it.

If the passionflowers represent Homura, then it makes sense that the pink roses likely represent Madoka--they are the same color as her hair, and they are heavily featured on her magical girl bow. Viewed in this light, the fact that these vines are on separate arched trellises could be a representation of how Homura and Madoka are separated from each other--that they are literally moving in different circles that do not touch or interact.

This will change, of course, with the sudden arrival of the doppelganger!Homura in the next shot, but once again, I am impressed at how much information SHAFT has managed to pack into a single seemingly innocuous shot.

What FLOWER do you associate with everyone?

OOOOO fun! Ok so-

Nezha is obviously lotus flowers. But to go along with it, I think Jing would be BLUE lotus flowers. I mean, if Nezha was made from pink ones, I think Jing would also be made from the blue ones. (Hint hint au hint 👀) although I also think Nezha could be associated with roses.

Azure Lion would be cyan forget me nots.

Muzha would be Chrysanthemum! I just think they’re pretty. Jinzha would be Hibiscus, both bc yellow and wealth symbolism.

The monkies would have flowers based off their fruits. Wukong would have peach flowers, Macawue would be Plum blossoms, and Mk would be the apricot flowers cluster. (Fruit flowers are VERY pretty)

Erlang to me would be a strawflower.

Pigsy I feel like would be Magnolia, same with Tang.

Sandy is Jazmine flowers, and often makes Jazmin tea (leaves from the vine-)

Mei would be a water poppy!

Redson for me is Amaryllis, while his mama is Anemone. Suprisingly, I think DBK would be Dahlia.

Yellow tusk is a sunflower, and Peng is a daisy! (🤣 makes no sense but that’s what I think!)

Xiangliu is a Passiflora caerulea, or blue passion flower.

💘Looking for flowers to “send” your beloved? This Valentine’s Day, we’ve got you covered with some tantalizing options you may not have considered… 1. For someone sweet, how about the true passion flower (Passiflora incarnata)? Bees and ants feed on its nectar, while a number of critters—from butterfly larvae to songbirds—snack on its egg-sized fruit. Humans also munch on its fruits, which can be eaten raw or made into jelly! 2. When love hurts, we suggest bleeding hearts (Lamprocapnos spectabilis). This perennial is originally from regions of eastern Asia. Though its heart-shaped flowers are beautiful, watch out… this plant is poisonous! 3. In the mood for a smooch? Try hot lips (Palicourea elata). This tropical flower can be found in parts of Central and South America. Its distinctive bright red leaves, known as bracts, attract pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. 4. Make a statement with the naked man orchid (Orchis italica). The flowers of this plant are endowed with a unique shape: They’ve been said to resemble a man “in the buff!” 5. If you’re smitten, try cupid’s dart (Catananche caerulea). This attractive flower blooms for weeks at a time. It’s said that ancient Greeks and Romans used it as an ingredient in love potions. 6. …and if you just think love stinks, the corpse lily (Rafflesia arnoldi) is the flower for you. Its scent, which has been compared to rotting flesh, attracts carrion flies which spread its pollen from flower to flower. It’s also the largest flower in the world! #valentines #flowers #biodiversity #amnh #museum https://www.instagram.com/p/CondlFzv5GM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Top OC Round 2: Dance Between the Fairy Lights

Conk is strutting down the pathway to Lord Ascan’s garden, flaunting their painfully colorful outfit. He waves to the judges as he enters. A very confused looking friend is trailing closely behind them.

“Howdy there! Oh, my outfit?” They turn, and the tail of their suit and capes flutter. “The colors are inspired by ‘passiflora caerulea’ flowers, or blue passion flowers! Kita told about them, said my goggles reminded her of them. The invitation said to wear jewelry, so I have this lovely gold brooch in the shape of a passion flower, as well!” They gesture to the glimmering brooch with gold chains streaming from it. “And the suit— the print is of hoyas! Sunny told me about these! Some flowers are so geometric and pretty, aren’t they?”

When Conk is finally done, his friend takes his arm. “Um, Conk?” “Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce Ev! He’s my best friend from back home.” Conk lights up. “Since flowers attract butterflies, his suit is inspired by gulf fritillary butterflies, which specifically like passion vines :) It’s so kind of Lady Acette to provide the help of her stylists for free— I’m not used to being all fancy— oh, a price?” Conk scratches his head. “Well, I don’t really have… money… ahah. Wait, you just wanna know a secret?” They smile wide. “Then lean in close… You know how my guitar says ‘this machine kills machines’ on it? It ain’t a joke. I’m a cyborg, actually. A killer cyborg, and deadly efficient.” From his exaggerated tone and smile, it’s hard to tell how serious he is…

Conk throws their head back and laughs, his goggles catching the light. “Oh, and, one other thing…” they lean back in and point to Ev. “Don’t let him hear…” he lowers his voice and hides his mouth with one hand. “…but I brought him to this fancy garden party because he’s the only person I wanna dance with.” He straightens back up. “There, you got two secrets for the price of one.”

“Um, Conk???” “What is it?” “Where… are we? I saw a blue person, and— and is that an alien? Is—is that a giant??? Oh sh—” He grabs onto Conk’s shoulder. “Reuben’s a friend! He’s just saying hi.” “Oh—”

Present-day notes: Kita and Reuben mentions again... ahem... also Sunny of @/jamiejacksoninsta fame... she doesn't use Tumblr. RIP

Everyone's favorite round is always the outfit round tbh. And just look at them-- about as tacky as physically possible. Be fair to my guys, they're not used to fancy. I did have a lot of fun with this one... (Originally posted with Dance With Me by Miyavi)

What's your favorite type of flower?

Hey!

Well, what an unexpected question! (and the very first someone asked me on Tumblr btw ^_^)

I had to think about it for a while because I don’t really have one. But I think I like flowers that can be easy to take care of – I hate see them die T.T – and flowers that can surprise me.

For an exemple, there is a market where I sometimes buy little orchids with a lot of flower buds for my house. I love to discover the flowers when they finally open! Sometimes they are very weird, but I like them anyway and I always hope that they will flourish next year, so they can surprise me again.

In another context, I would think about the Passiflora Caerulea or Passion Vines or “Clock-Flower” (“Passiflore Bleue” in French). They spectacularly bloom – sadly only one time - with the rising sun and then close in the end of the afternoon when the sun light goes down. There was a Passiflora Caerulea in my parents’ garden, and it was lovely to see all these flowers coming to life each day just like some little fairies proudly waving at you, and then disappearing in the evening, but still giving space to other flowers to bloom the next day.
