blue flower: clitoria ternatea
When the first flower of Clitoria Ternatea appeared as white, I thought the other two plants sharing the same trellis will definitely be white as well. To my surprise, the second plant produce blue flower. Now I am waiting for the third plant to bloom, what colour of flower would the plant display.. The post on Rosiah's garden displayed clitoria ternatea, which is more elaborate than the flowers in my garden. They belong to different varieties I guess.

Surprises in the gardening world. LOL! The blue blooms are so beautiful though. Will the next be white or blue.
ReplyDeleteIt is called "Neelofur" here in Punjab, pakistan. Very pretty shots indeed. But the white color variety is not common here.
ReplyDeleteSuch a heavenly blue!
ReplyDeleteSo you have that lovely blue too! The white must have been an albino.
ReplyDeleteThe blue is so intense. Rosiah's flower is the double variety of the same.
ReplyDeleteHocking Hills Gardener ~ yes, a lot of surprises in store. I hope the next will be blue..
ReplyDeleteMuhammad khabbab ~ I am surprised that white variety is rare even in Pakistan. So I am having a rare clitoria ternatea right in my little vegetable garden!
Meredehuit ♥ ~ Blue is rare for flowers, so they are special.

Bunga telang is indeed a treasure to have. We, Nyonyas, love this flower. Used to help my mom when I was small, we pluck the blooms and dried it for making nyonya kuih. My sister has this in her garden, hers is the double petal variety. Your white one is rather pretty!
ReplyDeletebeautiful bloom.... love the colours!!!
ReplyDeletekitchen flavours ~ It is going to be interesting to see white and blue flowers on the same trellis. Oh, kuih nyonya with bunga telang?..
ReplyDeleteCathJ ~ thanks, blue is a rare colour. It should be fun.
