Aparajita Blue Flower

parajita Blue Flower, commonly known as Clitoria Ternatea, Nilkantha, Asian Pigeonwings, Bluebellvine, Blue Pea, Butterfly Pea, Cordofan Pea and Darwin Pea, is a plant species belonging to the family Fabaceae. In India, it is revered as a holy flower, used in daily puja rituals. The flowers of this vine were imagined to have the shape of human female genitals, hence the Latin name of the genus “Clitoria”, from “clitoris”. The species name is thought to derive from the island of Ternate in the Indonesian archipelago, from where Linnaeus’s specimens originated.

Once established, this plant is incredibly easy to grow and requires little attention aside from helping to train it up a trellis. When in bloom, the Aparajita Blue Flower is covered in bright blue blossoms. It is grown on a support such as a trellis. Weave through a hedge. The plant is used for an ornamental purpose.
