This is a Torenia aka wishbone flower and I think from this shot you can tell why it got that nickname. I am growing this for the first time this year in purple which I posted previously. There are upright versions and trailing versions. I'm growing a trailing version as it is in hanging baskets. This soft yellow is an upright version. Please open it up to clearly see the wishbone.

---Please open it up to clearly see the wishbone---

Although the wishbone can been seen clearly even in a not a full screen size view, I did so, Kathy. The side effect of viewing this wonderful image at full screen size, is that this wishbone flower made me think that it was singing a joyful song. If Caedes could have provided us with sound, I certainly would have sung along with it, ☺ !

I am sure this will be a firm favourite - it would be good in hanging baskets ?
You have sown us its beauty to perfection. I love the creamy yellow and distinctive form.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
