Torenia Catalina Midnight Blue


Meet Torenia, commonly known as the Wishbone flower. Ok, I never saw the "wishbone" until I brought the photos I took into Photoshop and looked at the macro shots. Do you see it??
It is a gorgeous little shade plant that I am growing for the first time, supposed to be friendly to hummingbirds.
We shall see if the returning migrants give it a stamp of approval.

You ought to have bumble bees on them (blue). What a perfect design for a plump, fuzzy bee to crawl in under the anthers to gather pollen on its back, and then to place it on the stigmas of next wishbone. (Unless is it too small, then a smaller bee would do a fine job.) Cool what macrophotography will show you. What a pretty little flower.
