A true blue flower is a quite a rarity in any garden, let alone one of indigo hues. The blue pea flower, Ternatea Clitorea is as lovely as it is useful. A vigorous climber, it grows in profusion and throws out numerous blooms daily. It makes a wonderful food dye. We used it abundantly in our nyonya sweetmeats and in savoury dumplings."He is happiest who hath power to gather wisdom from a flower"
- Mary Howitt
Hello Stiletto,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you stopped by my place. Your pictures are charming and your writing captures the little scene you set so well.
I shall be back to enjoy more of your lovely posts.
Happy days
Hi there and thanks for the kind remarks. Writing little snippets is so cathartic for the soul, don't you think.
