The form of the flower is similar to the Butterfly Pea, Clitoria
ternata, but the color is different and the flower is larger (I
believe), being more than 1 inch wide.



Don: It does look very much like the Clitoria to me, very pretty.  I'm not
sure if is, for sure, the Clitoria, but I do know that the Clitoria comes in
more than the popular blue color.....are these hybrids or species??  That I
do not know.  A friend just sent me seed for the white Clitoria with the
palest of yellow in the center.  The one you have is very nice with that dark
in the middle.  I've also seen the blue Clitoria have "almost" 1 inch wide
flowers - just depends on how strong the vine is growing.
