Butterfly Pea: Chiang Mai Mix
(Clitoria ternatea)
Clitoria ternatea is a climbing, vining, tropical legume. Leaves are pinnately compound, each bearing 5-7 leaflets. Flowers occur in singles or pairs, are 4 cm wide, and are colored deep blue or solid white. These give way to pubescent, flat pods, that, upon maturation, dehisce (split and burst open) violently, dispersing seed widely.
White and blue flowers. Used for drinks and making salad.
