This is a butterfly pea flower growing beautifully along the fence of my plantation. This flower grows on a very long climbing vine, and it can grow almost anywhere, which is why its population is so large.Personally, I really dislike climbing plants because of their habit of using other plants or trees as supports. They can damage other plants by wrapping their stems around the stems of their hosts.We have already discussed their drawbacks, and now let's talk about their unique features and advantages.

This plant has very beautiful flowers with a bluish-purple color and a whitish-yellow center. Its shape is also very unique.This flower is also very beneficial for health, and many people often use it to make a warm and refreshing tea. Unlike ordinary tea, tea made from this flower has a very appealing blue color.

This flower is relatively large, so using a macro lens to photograph it is not really recommended. Therefore, at that time, I only photographed it using my phone camera.
Alright everyone, now I will share some pictures of this butterfly pea flower here.
