The Passion flower

I saw this Passion flower tangled up in a hedge tonight.
The Five white petals and the five sepals are said to represnt the 10 faithful apostles (Leaves out Judas who betrayed and Peter who denied)
The purple carolla is the crown of thorns.
Three pistil stigmas the nails
Five stamens the number of wounds
