Dawn
This is my contribution for Kim’s color crazy challenge. This morning when I went up to the terrace, this butterfly pea looked so pretty catching the first rays of the sun. I had to get this picture because I loved what I saw. The small inner petal was just a shadow as it caught the light.
These shell shaped flowers come in blue, white purple and pink. There are two kinds of butterfly pea, the wild ones (as in my photo) and the multi layered cultivars . The cultivars do not grow easily from seeds like the wild variety does.
I had weeded out all butterfly pea from my garden with the exception of two I kept in containers, but this one seems to have grown around my vanilla vine. Just looking at the color and the beauty of the flower I kept away from weeding it out. These plants are very invasive and grow wildly like weeds all over my garden.

Weeds are right plants in the wrong place, right?
I also like some weeds. I agree that some weeds are very invasive.
They are invasive and they gobble up all the soil nutrients. Though we like them we have to be reasonable as well.
the wrong plant, wrong time, wrong place.
Weeds are simply plants we don’t appreciate!
i like that!
No, I love this one, but it is quite invasive and kills other plants. Besides my terrace is kind of limited in space. I am forced to get rid of the butterfly pea and morning glory, though I love both.
that is an extension of the choices we have to make in life. sometimes we just have to let go.
Absolutely , Sometime we need to make a few sacrifices.
i am sorry I just trod out a tenet of mental health professionals, my apology.
There are many wild plants that I like a lot. Nature always gives us beauty.
I love them too, I wish we had more space to let the wild ones grow as well.
Some things are lovely to look at and that is one. Even they grow wildly it enhances the look of the garden. It’s a good thing that you kept these ones and can share it. Thank you.
I actually grew them but they went out of control, now I have to keep weeding them out.
This is a lovely color. Thanks for the photo.
Thanks for the visit and those kind words.
