    Hi Ernst, your image here came up when I posted my Tradescantia fluminensis just now. T. fluminensis produces white flowers only. What you have here looks like native scurvy weed (Commelina cyanea). I changed the ID listing but not your title! Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

      Thank you Ruth. I knew from a while back that it might not be correct but never got around to it to look it up.

The Scurvy weed

"Commelina cyanea" is a perennial prostrate herb of the family Commelinaceae native to moist forests and woodlands of eastern Australia, Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. The blue flowers appear over the warmer months and are pollinated by bees and flies.
