Clitoria (single)

13 years ago

This is the single flower version, Inga. Clitoria ternatea or 'Blue pea' Tis a vigorous vine, in fact a weed in the tropic reagions. I pull up seedlings that come up every spring but always try to leave just one or two. Oddly enough, the hard black seeds encased in a 'pea' shaped envelope sometimes reguire soaking overnight to soften the hard black shell, and yet, as the seed pod breaks down over winter in the soil up they come as soon the soil warms in, well, early summer here.

Thank you for posting these interesting blooms.
It almost seems that there are about 2-3 people using this, almost dead, forum, pity, it used to be very lively.

BTW
The flower is so bright, that your hand becomes invisible.

Yes, I gotta agree with you there Inga. I had the single - and there is also a white form of the single I believe - but I've had a real battle in this climate to control that; it seeds everywhere. I have a few late ones coming up (of the single blue) from last year but none in flower at the moment. I might have a pic tucked away in this computer, somewhere, if I can find one I'll post it. B

the 'vines' have to fit into a small priority mail box, so they are only like 8in long, But they grow like weeds. They are woody and root very easily. I dont know how many seeds. As many as you will spare. I have none,so,i need s many as i can get, and plant now, it is hot already and my single blues are up and blooming,but not setting seeds this time. Maybe not enough plants. So its up to you telling me. And sending me your address. Then i can send you mine.

Clitoria Ternatia, double form.

Clitoria ternata is listed as a weed, both blue and white forms. The original was brought in as a pasture improvement plant (legume) but then someone developed the coloured forms. I haven't seen the double ones, but the singles are fairly common though not in plague proportions.

Yeah, strange isn't it; there use to be a number of contibutors, maybe it's because, as I experienced, it just wouldn't load and on the rare occasion that it did it took soooo long. Seems they were renovating the site. I notice now it loads quite quickly and I don't have to go through 'Photobucket' to load pics, all I do is click on the browse button and load straight from my folders. Maybe if you contribute to any other sites Inga, and Chas, you could spread the word that this one is up and running again. I use to visit one or two others but I've lost track of them, then had a hard-drive crash and lost them altogether.
