Such a stunning colour Pushkraj. I think I need this one. Thanks for posting. @Pushkraj 💜💜💜

No worries, @pelly .. do let me know if you find the seeds for this one online. If not, I'll try to bring a seed pod with me and mail it to you once I'm settled.

Thanks, that is so kind of you Pushkraj but I have found them online. 💜💜💜 @Pushkraj

Excellent - I suppose you'll need to sow them right away to get flowers later this year. I wish you good luck with them!! @pelly

Soooo pretty!

It comes as a rosette too, @gjones !!

I looked these up as I'd never heard of them and we can grow them here Pushkraj. 😊😊

Oh absolutely, Jane! The seeds for these are sold in the UK as tropical climbers. I'm not sure how they'd survive the winter, but they flower in the first year, and set seed very easily, so you'll be able to grow them. The most common ones are white and blue/white, and each of these comes in single or rosette type flowers. I've picked some rosettes now, will tag you in a snap. @pelly

Lovely! 👌🏼

#butterflypea one of my favourite climbers, it flowers and self seeds profusely..

That's very pretty Pushkraj. 💜💜💜

One of my childhood obsessions, Jane :) I've three varieties now. This flower also comes as a double rosette, in blue and in white! @pelly

A lovely childhood obsession Pushkraj. 💜💜💜 @Pushkraj

Beautiful 💜💜💜

Gorgeous 💜💜💜

Exquisite 👌🏻

Yet another shade of butterfly pea, this time a single flower #vine #pea #blue #closeup

Lovely colouring! I saw one of these growing in a garden in Mauritius 😊

#butterflypea #clitoria

A beautiful flower, both shape and color!

Thanks @lovestogarden , I have the white one too, besides the double indigo variety which resembles a rose :)

Nice. Your garden is made of very pretty flowers and wonderful edibles! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, @lovestogarden :)

The indigo, double variety of butterfly pea!! #blue #climber #vine #butterfly

Ahh.. That's beautiful.. 👌

Gorgeous colour.

Stunning 😀🌿💜💜💜💜

Thanks @plants :) I love sharing native species uncommon to the rest of the world!

The White, single variety of butterfly pea! Fun fact: The local name (Gokarna) is derived from the shape of the flower, which resembles cow's ears! #white #vine #climber

@AnkitaPKarthik

Lovely! Do think of me when you have seeds :-)

@AnkitaPKarthik can I simply pop them into an envelope and post them? They're tiny, so I need not courier them right??

Do pack them in waterproof lining, both the seeds and the envelope. Seeds might rot as it's raining heavily here, and the post office guys refuse to deliver if the envelope is damaged in any way.

Oh and thanks a ton :-) do let me know if you need any seeds, I'd happily return the favour if I have those seeds. Or if you'd like I can send you a surprise seed, risking duplication :-)

I'll post them in the last week of August, if that's alright :) @AnkitaPKarthik

@AnkitaPKarthik I do love surprises haha! I won't be sowing Any more until November so Can I let you know then?? A dear friend is coming back from Scotland in October and getting me some seeds too!

Indeed it is. Still, do wrap seeds in plastic :-D Thank you very much.

@AnkitaPKarthik I've had excellent luck this week. My Mediterranean Lavender (Lavandula viridis) and banana passion fruit (!!!!) have finally germinated!

@AnkitaPKarthik since you live in Delhi, which is more important a city than Pune for obvious reasons, do you know if you have a Trikaya at the local mall?

@AnkitaPKarthik the thing is, Trikaya sells herb pots in select Indian cities. These plants include lavender, and I'm absolutely mental about them (I'll tag you in a bit). they don't sell these in Pune, but may do in Delhi.
