Passiflora

If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.
(BG 9.26)

Information – Passiflora (“Panch Pandav” (referring to the five Pandavas in the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata). 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. The colour blue is moreover associated with Krishna as the colour of his aura.
