Flowers

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.
