Also known as wishbone flower because of the structure inside which gets broken when the hummingbirds come. They do love Torenia as I grew it last year and we had more hummers than we had ever had before. My Fx2 for this week.

Kathy, I've searched on the net why Mother Nature has created the Torenia with the property that the visiting hummingbirds will broke the structure inside. I only could find THIS.
Has probably something to do with reproduction.
Very fine F² contribution however.

Great photo and good info Kathy.
I thought the wishbone looked like a wedding ring.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
