One of the most enjoyable plants I have in my garden. They constantly bloom. The only setback is that they get infested with mealybug farmed by ants and that if you forget to water - they tend to wither and may not recover back from the former glory.
The good thing is that they resurrect back during the end of the year during the raining season and they just sprout everywhere - wherever the seeds had sprouted. And so, to say this plant had totally died from the garden - may not be true as they do come back again.

What beautiful little flowers. They'd go well in a hanging pot I'm guessing???
They do look great and reseeders are always a plus.
The flowers are so cute. Can fit anywhere in the garden and make pretty combination.
I like these cute and sweet little blooms. So far I have seen 3 colours - pink, blue and white. They make pretty flower borders with their mixed colours.
Hi James,
I like the Wishbone Flowers when they spread all over the gound. They are so beautiful, especially when the various colours are grown together.
My neighbour gave me some and since then they have never cease to make an appearance in my garden.
Oh, I think I had all your colors last year, I really need to go check see if they reseeded themselves. I have the habit to digging around, so I am afraid that reduced the chance for them to reseed. I love their flowers!
They really have pretty bloom! They self seed easily too! Last time i had a patch for them but now i can see them here and there!
My torenia resurrected after the prolonged rain also. Funny isn't it? They really can give you a surprise. I do enjoy watching this flower popping out here and there. And I don't think they need any fertiliser at all to blossom ;-)
Hi James, they are nice to look at, but i dont like it because it becomes weeds here. You have not visited my site for long so you did not see my dedication to you of my previous post! haha
Nice little flowers.., resembling orchid flowers in many ways.
Hello James! It has been great visiting your blog. You have a wonderful collection of plants!
They disappear every now and then but always come back. That is really nice. If they multiply too fast, we may not appreciate them, right?
I love the torenias in my garden. James, you are right. From the info given in your comment in my torenia post, now, I know how to collect their seeds which are really very very tiny.
Thank you all for your lovely comments.
