Hi Christine, what I understand the picture shown on the right side/Species Identified "The Butterfly Pea" is the picture of yard long bean flower (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis) which is significantly different with the flower of Butterfly Pea/Blue Pea, Clitoria ternatea. Thanks Posted 3 years ago

The Butterfly-pea

"Clitoria ternatea", common names including butterfly-pea, blue-pea, and cordofan-pea, is a plant species belonging to the Fabaceae family. The flowers of this vine have the shape of human female genitals, hence the Latin name of the genus ""Clitoria"", from "clitoris".
