Butterfly Pea Vine By The Roadside

Wednesday, November 11, 2009

The shrubs below were seen by the roadside, just outside an old nursery that's not in operation anymore.

The condition of the plant was really good and its stems looked strong with lots of flowers and pods too. A man there told me that many strangers have stopped by and help themselves to the flowers.

This is one common sun-loving plant that can been seen growing in the wild as creepers and on fences as vines.

Welcome

I'm Stephanie - This blog is where I share about the plants I grow and my gardening projects.

I live in Malaysia, a land blessed with plenty of sunshine and rain, a tropical climate. The days are warm and humid with temperature averaging around 32˚C (90˚F) while the nights are fairly cool.
