Tuesday Afternoon Flower Photo: Sweaty Passion Flower
This is a passion flower, also known as the maypop, although I think passion flower is a much better name.
I took this photo in the heat of the day, so it is interesting to me to see the droplets on the petals. I guess it is a sweaty passion flower.

Passion flowers here bloom earlier in the year.
They are symbolic of Christ's passion and there is a story about petals and stamen etc representing the apostles, can't remember all the details.
Sweaty passion however, is as far as I can remember quite a different story.
