Bunga telang, A vigurous climbers

Bunga Telang From wikipidea : Clitoria ternatea, common names including butterfly-pea, blue-pea, and cordofan-pea, is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family.
 In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, it has been used for centuries as a memory enhancer, nootropic, antistress, anxiolytic, antidepressant, anticonvulsant, tranquilizing and sedative agent.[1] In Southeast Asia the flowers are used to colour food. In Malay cooking, an aqueous extract is used to colour glutinous rice for kuih ketan (also known as pulut tai tai in Peranakan/Nyonya cooking) and in nonya chang. In Thailand, a syrupy blue drink is made called nam dok anchan (น้ำดอกอัญชัน), it is commonly consumed with a drop of lime juice to increase acidity and turn the juice in to pink-purple. In Burma the flowers are used as food, often they are dipped in batter and fried.

Currently me and my family don't make any use for this flower. at the first place, my mum friends is giving her some seed to be planted. First, the climbers grow like any other climbers. Then as the time pass by where there is not much space for the climbers to climbs, its start to crawl up to the adjacent tree. This climbers is really a vigorous creature where we need to trim the climbers once a week.
