Saluting every life with a flower each day! Flowers are soul of the planet, blooming to play music with silent notes. Smile at them as they are sweet hearted!! Only the photographs taken by me are uplinked. I lean heavily to http://www.flowersofindia for flower identification and descriptions. Looking forward to valuable comments and suggestions.

Solitarily smiling at you ...
Scientific name: Clitoria ternatea
The butterfly pea is a wonderful twining plant bearing large flowers (about 2" long and 1.5" wide). The plant is native of subtropical Amerca and Asia. The vine can grow upto 9'. It vines around anything adjacent to it. There are blue, cream and pinkish variants and shades of flowers. The plant is extensively used in Ayurvedic medicinal preparations. It is seen all around South India as a wild growth. Even inside the CSRTI campus at Mysore, i could see single petalled and multi-petalled flowers. I took this photograph on 1st September, 2011 from CSRTI, Mysore campus.
