So happy my butterfly pea or blue pea vine is flowering everyday.
It is named clitoria ternatea and you can tell why by looking at the shape of the flower. I prefer to address it in our local language "bunga telang".
I boil the flowers to extract the color and the liquid can be used to color plain rice or glutinous rice. Perhaps it may have some health benefits but I just like the color. For me the sight of blue rice conjures mouth watering images of curry. Not to mention various sweet treats made with glutinous rice.
This is a less common blue pea flower.
It has double petals and hence produces more color.
Smile for me, pretty lady....♡
