The missionaries believed (or professed) that several parts of the plant, including the petals, rays, and sepals, symbolized features of the crucifixion of Christ.

It enjoys some popularity as a native plant with edible fruit and few pests.As with other passifloras, it is the larval food of a number of butterfly species, including the Zebra longwing and Gulf Fritillary .It grows natively in all parts of the Americas.Passiflora incarnata, commonly known as May-pop, Purple passionflower, True passionflower, Wild apricot, and Wild passion vine, is a fast growing perennial vine with climbing or trailing stems.

History:  The wild Clematis species native to China made their way into Japanese gardens by the 17th century. Japanese garden selections were the first exotic clematises to reach European gardens, in the 18th century, long before the Chinese species were identified in their native haunts at the end of the 19th century.The name 'clematis' is derived from the Greek word klema, meaning vine branch or vine-like. It is possible that even before the use of the word 'Klema-tis' the whole genus was known as atragene, meaning 'firecracker' in Greek.The Clematis 'Carnaby', Hybrid, has pink flowers with rich red bar down the middle of each petal.

'Carnaby' also has dark red anthers that make it very showy.Clematis 'Carnaby' needs a supporting structure to grow properly but will also grow over large shrubs. The tops of Clematis prefer full sun while their roots prefer a cool, shady area. It is best to heavily mulch the root zone to provide this cool, shady area.
