Clitoria Plant
It rained last night.
Seeing i was a little early for Ric; took my camera to snap some shoots of the Clitoria wildflowers i saw blooming yesterday evening :) Its first blooms since seeded 8 weeks ago.
The Clitoria or Blue pea flower, also popularly known as Bunga Telang (in Malay) or the Butterfly Pea, is a common ingredient used as natural food dye for making Nyonya (Peranakan) Kuihs.
A fast tropical climber plant that blooms all year, it grew wildly in Singapore's tropical climate; i had seen it frequent among the bushes of abandoned fields. Read here for good pics of it as a food dye.
These are the other two Wildflowers of Singapore that swept our garden grounds; i've yet to know their names... Do you?
