On one of my walks I passed by a fence that was covered with a vining plant. The vines were covered with these orchid-like flowers. I had no idea what they are, but they are certainly beautiful.
After publishing this photo, I was able to use Google's visual search to identify it. It is a Thunbergia laurifolia, also known as a laurel clockvine or a blue trumpet vine. It is native to India and Thailand, and in Asia it leaves are crushed and used for medicinal purposes.
