Bluewings or Wishbone Flower

Torenia fournieri

Description:

Tubular flower that looks like a pansy when looked at face on. Shades of blue.

Habitat:

Christian burial ground or cemetery on Lower Circular Road, Kolkata. This was growing wild on graves...and everywhere else.

Notes:

According to my reference, "...Needs rich, very moist, well-drained soil ..."no wonder it liked the graveyard. No disrespect meant.
