It was during our trip to Cherating that we came across this beautiful bushy shrub, green leaves with beautiful blue bell shaped flowers, about 4 inches long, as we stopped for a cuppa at one of the roadside restaurant. The soil is sandy, I guess that's the natural habitat for this lovely plant. She gave a few branches. In the end 10 of them rooted. Now two are flowering....
Flower is blue (or is it purple)
 |
| 5 petals, yellow in the middle |
 |
| The center of the flower is glowing |
 |
| Flower is too big for the stem and leaves |
Some of us may have grown this plant, and know it's name.
