Oporajita:

Oporajita is called: Butterfly pea, Asian pigeonwings, blue pea etc. in english...Its scientific name is Clitoria teratea...the word Clitoria came from Greek kleitoris, which is used, to describe the size of the flower...the word Teratea came from the island Ternate from where this flower was collected and was named...

This fast growing climber is a fairly common tender perennial species that produces two inch, pinkish blue flowers in mid to late Summer...they provide quick covers for lattice, trellis, arbor and chain-link fence, and are a favorite food source for butterflies...they prefer full sun to light shade.
These plants are very drought tolerant, but should be watered regularly. (never over-water!)
The seeds should be soaked overnight in room temperature water before planting at 3-4 inch spacing. The seeds should be started indoors at 70-75 degrees, 12 weeks before the warm weather arrives.
