Better be watched by an animal than a nosy man.

I've never attempted to grow Dahlias in my garden before, because they always seemed too fussy to me. They do require extra care, because their bulbs need to be dug up and stored over the winter. Also, you must attend to slugs, because they appear to be magnets for them. But who can resist such dazzling flowers?

“Blue thou art, intensely blue; Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?” – James Montgomery

 

Feijão Borboleta/ Blue butterfly pea flower, is a plant belonging to the bean and pea family. Originally from regions of Tropical Asia, but currently it can be found in several regions of South and Central America, India, China and Southeast Asia.

 

A striking feature of butterfly bean flowers is their color, an intense blue that makes the flower very striking, but in some cultivars, the flower can be completely white.

 

It is a perennial vine and can be grown in small pots as an ornamental plant, developing quickly and flowering most of the time of its life.

 

In folk medicine, butterfly beans have been used to treat throat and eye infections, fever, indigestion, baldness, stress, strengthening memory, among other applications. Rich in phytochemicals, the infusion of flowers is hepatoprotective and antidiabetic and the juice is used in Ayurvedic medicine to cure insect bites and skin diseases.

 

In the kitchen, the plant also has numerous applications, the leaves, pods and flowers being the parts used in the butterfly bean. However, the flower is the most used part, being used in the preparation of various blue foods, such as refreshments, teas, soups, ice cream, rice, among others.

Near Hofn in Iceland.

That day in southern Iceland we lost hope of seeing the sun shine. The surprise was total when late in the day the light appeared and so beautiful that we almost forgot the clouds.

Many thanks for your visits, faves and comments. Have a wonderful day!

This is a Cherry Laurel bush in our yard. It gets the most delicate flowers in spring.

Crimson Columbine (aquilegia formosa), Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

 

These flowers are bright in any weather, but in the full midday mountain sunshine they almost required sunglasses to view! I love the shape and structure of Columbine flowers and am always excited when I find a patch of them out on the trails.
