Field Notes

Description:

The flower size and shape is about that of pea but the colour almost violet.

Habitat:

The area is dotted with coconut trees and there are lots of under-growths. Sea leve, warm to hot.

Notes:

These pea-like flowers were spotted near an amusement park at Phuket, Thailand. I found the flowers very colourful and attractive and thought exotic, but my wife and other friends said they are already familiar with this flower. Name? Even they don't know!
