These plant are ever blooming here also. They are extremely widely grown along the sides of the freeways here and medians and in open areas where nothing else grows.

I really like this.
Beautiful blooms.
Are the petals bluey-white with light blue edges ?

Terratoonie,

There are many varieties: light blue, dark blue, almost purple, and white.
There's also a red species which grows here which isn't as common, it very, very tropical.

i used to have one of these in my garden wherever I was - don't have one in this garden and now your photo has reminded me how lovely they are so I think I'll have to get one again.
