But today I learned to my surprise that it is also whitish and red in colour. I have always wondered why does the same flower have different colours other eg. like Hibiscus, Rose Any explanation? I also want to share some interesting info I came across about Krishna kamal/ Passion flower So, long story behind the name Krishna Kamal. There are (apparently) a 100 of those blue petals - one for each of the Kauravas, and 5 of the green ones in the centre - one for each of the Pandavas. The green bulb in the centre symbolises the Pandava queen Draupadi, and the three filaments are for the holy trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv. AND the white radial in the centre is the Sudarshan chakra of Lord Krishna. Bhagyashri On Sat, Aug 13, 2011 at 5:44 PM, Mahadeswara <swamy.c...@gmail.com> wrote: Beautiful photographs.
