The passion flower of the Mahabharata: a hundred filaments read as the Kaurava army, five stamens as the Pandavas. Extraordinary at close range, vigorous enough to need a trellis, and fragrant in the evening.

What it actually does

Carries a story

Traditionally — Indian readings count the hundred radial filaments as the Kaurava army and the five stamens as the Pandavas, with the three styles above as Krishna, Arjuna and the chariot. European missionaries read the identical flower as the passion of Christ. It is the same bloom, holding two entirely unrelated stories.

Scents a whole balcony

The flowers open after sunset and the scent carries far further than the plant's size suggests.

Where it comes from

Passiflora caerulea is South American, from Argentina and Brazil, and reached India through colonial gardens. It is a fast, tendrilled climber that will cover a trellis in a season. The flower lasts a single day, which is the price of that structure.

Water	Every other day in summer. Vigorous growth means real thirst — a pot this size dries fast in Vidarbha heat.
Light	Full sun. Give it a trellis or it will find your grille and use that instead.
